The Bellevue Police Department is searching for two men who robbed a 68-year-old woman near the Factoria Mall Sunday morning. It happened about ten o’clock.

The woman told police she was walking to her car when the two men pulled up in a gray SUV asking for directions. The woman gave them directions and they tried to pay her but she said no.

“That’s when the suspects got angry. They got out of their vehicle. They shoved her to the ground and yanked a necklace from the victim’s neck,” said Bellevue police spokesman Drew Anderson.

Bellevue Police working with limited suspect descriptions

The men jumped back in the car and got away. Unfortunately, police have very little suspect descriptions. They are asking the public for help – if you know who committed the crime or if you saw it happen, you could help police identify the suspects.

“Any information about who the suspect are, what they were wearing, what they look like, give us a call or send us an email, or just call 911,” Anderson said.

You can also give information anonymously at Crimestoppers of Puget Sound at 800-222-TIPS.
