Police are looking for two men who forced their way into a North Seattle home late Tuesday night, fought with an 84-year-old homeowner and fled with a woman’s purse.
Police say the intruders forced their way through a back door of a home in the 700 block of NW 120th Street sometime around 11:30 p.m.
The intruders woke an 84-year-old man, and one of the suspects pointed a gun at him and demanded money. The man attempted to fight back, but fell down and was kicked by the suspect.
The suspects stole the man’s Rolex watch, a diamond ring and grabbed the purse of a sleeping 51-year-old woman before running out the front door and fleeing the scene on foot.
Police searched the area with a dog and found some items from the woman’s purse, but the two suspects remain at large.
The suspects are described as two black men in their 20′s, both wearing dark-colored masks. The first suspect was last seen in a white t-shirt and blue jeans and was armed with a black handgun. The second suspect was last seen wearing a dark jacket and blue jeans.
Anyone with information about this incident or who may know the identities or whereabouts of the suspects is asked to call 911 or the Seattle Police Robbery Unit at (206)684-5535. Anonymous tips are welcome.
