Two teens, ages 15 and 17, were arrested Saturday night in North Seattle for an armed carjacking after BMW provided real-time updates of the suspects’ location.
At approximately 9:30 p.m., Seattle Police Department (SPD) officers responded to the 6200 block of N.E. Radford Drive for a reported carjacking by multiple suspects, SPD announced.
One of the teenage suspects pointed a firearm at the victim while demanding his keys and cellphone. Multiple suspects then entered the victim’s vehicle and drove away.
