Seattle police arrested three teens with alleged gang ties last week after they were caught breaking in to a Mount Baker home.
Officers were called out to the 1300 block of 30th Ave. S at around 4:25 p.m. on Monday, after a homeowner called police to report that a group of young men were hanging out in a neighbor’s back yard.
Police arrived and found five teens in the yard, and saw that the back door and windows to the home had been damaged.
Police took three of the teens into custody at the home, but two others fled, and were able to lose police by running through a greenbelt near Coleman Park.
When officers asked the teens what they were doing at the house, one of them bluntly answered “We was robbing the place.”
The report states when officers checked the house they found damage to the rear door, dead-bolt lock and door jamb, as well as a partially open window missing its screen.
A witness at the scene told police that approximately half an hour earlier she got a knock at her door from a six foot black male with an Afro who asked “if she needed anything,” the report says. The woman declined the man’s offer, and watched as he headed towards her neighbor’s house.
The police report indicates the teens are members of a gang, but does not provide any information about which gang the teens belong to.
Oops, so much for the right to remain silent.
Seems like the peasants are storming the palace…
If she needed anything? I’ve seen that porno….
idiots.
@3 – They fixed the cable?
We be attacking white privilege….
“in a gang” is code word for what race again?
I thought so…
Nope it’s not a race thing… not at all…
I don’t know why the 5.0 be hatin’ on da ‘hood… The brothaz just be learnin’ their future trade!
‘haters!
“We was robbin’ the place”. Sounds like an Elmore Leonard title.
Colman Park, Unpaid Intern. It’s called Colman Park.
And boo hiss to cops for not just, say, camping a cruiser on each end of the greenbelt (I mean, you geniuses DO have maps, don’t you?) and/or blocking off surrounding streets and casing them until the suckas pop back up.
Oh, Black People. It’s not their fault, it’s ours for having things.
Blacks make up only 8% of Seattle but blacks committed over half the murders in Seattle in 2008 and probably about 85% of the murders in Seattle so far this year.
If someone knocks on your door and then can’t provide any reason to be doing so, you can bet they’re looking for a house to burglarize. Call the cops. It’s not being paranoid. Call the goddamned worthless cops and tell them there’s a burglary in progress at your neighbor’s house.
Burglars don’t wear all black and sneak in through a window in the middle of the night. They walk up, knock on the door and if nobody answers and no big dog starts barking, they go around back and kick in the door.
