Police: Three armed robberies in Seattle early Friday likely connected

Three armed robberies were reported in Seattle early Friday morning and investigators believe they were connected.

The first incident occurred at about 3:20 a.m. in the 5700 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. Three suspects entered a store there. One was armed with a handgun. The trio demanded money from a clerk and fled on foot, according to a blotter post from the Seattle Police Department.

After investigators arrived at that scene, another armed robbery was reported in the 12300 block of 15th Avenue NE just before 5 a.m. Again, three suspects were involved, including one with a handgun.

Less than an hour later, a third armed robbery with three suspects was reported at a gas station mini mat in the 200 block of NE 45th Street.

Weird. If they were on foot they're really fast. I don't think there are any Metro buses running that early.
