SEATTLE — Police said on Wednesday there have been over 14 instances of teens inTodd Kibbee, Seattle Police Department assistant chief of operations, said the common trend in the recent spate of muggings is that kids are coming home from school between 2-5 p.m. Kibbee said suspects driving stolen vehicles will jump out of a car to mug the teens or surprise them from behind. The suspects have flashed a gun and been violent on some occasions, Kibbee said.
Investigators said the suspects are looking for phones, AirPods and other personal property in the muggings. Police suspect a group of as many as six people, believed to be teenagers wearing ski masks or hoodies, have robbed several people of electronics and personal belongings. “This is the worst I’ve ever seen it," the senior said."It’s happening in broad daylight. He looked down at his phone and by the time he looked up, he was surrounded by five guys, and eventually, these guys told him, ‘Sit on the ground.' They made him reset their phone, tell them their password and they took their AirPods, phones.”
