Seattle thieves steal the jewelry right off victims’ necks

Seattle Police are looking for suspects in a string of street robberies.

The spree began on August 14 when two men snatched one jade and two gold necklaces right off of a woman’s neck.

In just over a week, more than 20 people have been targeted in the robbery spree spanning Beacon Hill and the Rainier Valley.

Detective Renee Witt calls it ” crimes of opportunity.”

Robbers take what they have to get, the escape as quickly as possible, and don’t look for a fight.

All of the robberies have been in public including bus stops and grocery stores.
