Redmond Police officers have captured a Washington’s Most Wanted fugitive after the woman was spotted inside a store Saturday.

A spokesman says an eyewitness identified Precious Shabazz, 18, Saturday at the retail outlet on the 17100 block of Redmond Way, after recognizing her from Washington’s Most Wanted’s Facebook page.

Shabazz was wanted in connection with a violent robbery at a downtown Seattle store after she kicked and punched a store employee.

Redmond police chased her after she fled the store and captured her nearby. They also recovered several stolen items.

She was transferred to the Seattle Police Department for processing.
