Seattle Police are searching for a group of teenage girls who appear to be robbing and beating women along the #73 bus line.
On Friday night, officers responded to several robbery reports in the University District area involving a group of three teenage girls.
The first incident, police say, occurred at about 11:30pm outside an apartment building at 58th and Cowen, where the group of girls approached a woman and asked for money and to be let inside of the woman’s apartment building. When the woman refused, the teens chased her to the front entrance of her building and grabbed her before she was able to get inside
The report says two of the girls punched woman in the face and body, pushed her to the ground, kicked her, and grabbed her head, “repeatedly smash[ing] it into the door frame.”
The group of teens then ran from the scene without taking anything.
According to another police report, about 15 minutes later the group of teens approached a 22-year-old woman in an alley near her apartment on NE 45th and 16th Ave NE.
The report says the group of teens—described by the 22-year-old woman as “well dressed”—approached the woman and asked if they could use her phone. After making a phone call, the teens asked the woman for a dollar for bus fare. After the woman handed over a few dollars, one of the teenage girls tried to grab her purse. The woman refused to let go and struggled with the teens until one of the girls threw an apple at her and fled.
After the apple attack, police believe the girls boarded a #73 Metro bus and attacked another woman on 115th and 15th Ave NE a half-hour later. A Metro driver told police he recalled seeing the teens get on his bus in Lake City at about 8pm, and later dropped them off in the same area.
The police report notes that the group of teens may also have been involved in a robbery/assault on April 2nd in the 4200 block of University Way and a purse snatching in Lake City on the 3rd.
The University of Washington has sent out a safety notice to students about the robberies.
What color are they?
Screenwriters everywhere pant for more details.
Stories like these make me want to make sure I get inside before dark. I’ll still try to come to the Slog Happy. I hope there isn’t much crime around the Blue Moon.
Do you have a more detailed description of the suspects? I have female friends who ride that route who might benefit from that information.
In other words, WHAT COLOR WERE THEY?
WILDING!
I long for the day when they decide to mess with the wrong people and get their asses handed to them.
Is one of them Tura Satana?
If they remain unidentified, how is their age known so specifically (16)?
Oh, c’mon, I can spot a 16-year-old girl from a thousand yards.
Black girls. $20.
was one of them Eric Grandy?
@1,4,5,11 they were described as “well dressed,” so for the purposes of your stereotyping, they were probably wealthy white Lakeside students.
@10 I’ll bet you can, you old pervert…
Seriously, though. It’s a legitimate question concerning if they can be charged as adults or just sent to juvenile corrections.
Let’s examine closely then this dangerously evil creation, this new breed encased and contained within the supple skin of woman. The softness is there, the unmistakable smell of female, the surface shiny and silken, the body yielding yet wanton. But a word of caution: handle with care and don’t drop your guard. This rapacious new breed prowls both alone and in packs, operating at any level, any time, anywhere, and with anybody. Who are they? One might be your secretary, your doctor’s receptionist… or a dancer in a go-go club!
@13
Shall we wager if your stereotyping is better than ours?
Let us know if a real description ever surfaces.
@16 just noting that you’re going to probably have to expand your definition of ‘dangerous’ people. Probably best to just go ahead and buy a gun, since the police can’t protect society anymore. i know a guy in Pittsburgh who can…ah crap. well, all the more reason to be afraid of everyone!
@18
Unfortunately you are right.
It’s the latest fad among the UW sorority girls: “Let’s Beat Up The Poor!”
@19 ick. can’t you and your militia go found a colony in a gulch somewhere by yourselves? You’ll be happier, until one of your own shoots up all your paranoid asses, and my friends, family and I will be less likely to end up in the crossfire.
Story gave me an erection.
This isn’t about guns.
This is about young teenage girls engaging in violent acts.
Focus, people.
Think “Reform School Girls.” See you in hell, Edna.
The teen girl squad strikes again!
Maybe they were fem-bots
Hardcore Rumpspringa!
@15 We have go-go clubs in Seattle? Pray tell.
Perhaps city council can take a look at limiting apple sales in certain “high crime” districts.
you have to admit, if there’s going to be violent crime in the u district, this is the best violent crime there could be.
fucking ave rats.
Where the hell is Cowen and 58th St? Did they mean Cowen Place and 15th Ave?
Let us pray the Pimp’s Prayer. Lord, please pray for the soul of this bitch and guide my pimp hand and make it strong, Lord, so that she might learn a hoe’s place. Amen.
“After making a phone call, the teens asked the woman for a dollar for bus fare. After the woman handed over a few dollars, one of the teenage girls tried to grab her purse.”
Stupid fucking liberals, probably thought she was doing ‘good’ giving what the rest of us would call ‘hos’ money. Look them in the eye and tell them to fuck off the first time.
Feh, why bother arresting them. If a group of ten teenagers can kick and beat an elderly man to death and only 3 of them are charged and those get off with a measly 72 weeks punishment, then WTF is going to be these girls punishment? Nothing.
Start carrying a gun or a tazer, folks. The only person who’s going to defend your ass is you. The SPD and the justice system doesn’t give a shit.
It’s too much to hope that Mudede won’t see this and then muse about it for months.
Can’t be ave. rats, they were well-dressed, whatever the hell that means. They’re alleged to have been part of the gang that assaulted a kid and stole his iPhone on Brooklyn last week, and those kids were described (not here) as black. So, not ave rats, not sorority girls, just a bunch of scary-ass teenage black girls.
i was on the 72 last night, around 11:30, and three girls who looked about 16 got off at 58th and cowen – coincidence?
Nothing in the news.
Damn… looks like they got away.
Next time… we’ll get them.
There WILL be a next time.
Jonah, keep us posted.
Hey, great work, Slog commenters.
Good show. Good turnout. Good drill.
Let’s keep this up.
The streets will be safe again.
@35 can you provide a better description then?
Racist people are disgusting and unlikeable.
I can’t believe that no one has yet mentioned the phrase “apple attack”.

I have my pink beret on…
I’m going with a gang of young asian ninja women giving the proximity to the UW. Each one has their own weapon specialty and a specific colored jump-suits.
@5 Is not me, just some racist troll.
So what were you asking in @4?
Don’t be coy, you silly boy…
Oh jeez, is it Deadly Viper Assassin Squad audtion time again already??!
It is hilarious to read all the usual stereotypical Seattle white liberals try, as is stereotypically usual for them, to deny that blacks ever even commit crimes at all.
Another kind of “white Seattle liberal logic” admits that, yes, blacks do commit the most violent crime of any race per capita (or just outright by far if you include Africa in the stats), but it is not their fault because they have been so oppressed by the evil white man that blacks are now pretty much irreparably crazy and retarded and have absolutely no control over or responsibility for their actions.
Wake the fuck up to reality you nauseatingly naive people.
A week in a male prison would change their attitudes.
Is this where racist liberals come to feast?
Why is it “racist” to point out FACTS?????
Blacks and whites are EXACTLY THE SAME in every way!
Celebrate diversity!
@48(and also in RE: 45,46) because there ARE NO facts in the case as of yet. You’re not the truth-telling avenger of the internet you think you are – there was no racial identification released in any of the official reports, and you and your ilk are the ones clamoring that it MUST have been a group of black teens
