Worst. Bank Robber. Ever.
By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee Recommend this story (0 votes)
Report abuse | King County prosecutors have filed charges against a man arrested at an Aurora motel last week for several bank robberies around, and prosecutors appear to have a fairly damning piece of evidence in their case.
According to police and court documents, Casey Shane Printz used a BB gun to rob two banks in Northgate and the University District, and a kitchen supply store in the University Village earlier this month to support a $70 a day heroin habit. Records say Printz made off with about $1,000 in the robberies.
Court documents say that during the three robberies, Printz was wearing a gray sweatshirt with his own name, printed on the front. The shirt—described by FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs as looking similar to a Princeton University shirt—was apparently partially visible on surveillance footage taken during both bank robberies. Police collected the shirt as evidence when they arrested Printz.

Pizza Delivery Driver Delivers to House That Robbed Him Before, Gets Robbed Again
By Brian Slodysko Recommend this story (0 votes)
Report abuse | A delivery driver for A PizzaMart was assaulted and robbed of two pizzas and two orders of bread sticks, after he got out of his car to deliver to a University District residence on 21st St. NE — an address, he told police, where he's been robbed of the store's marginal-yet-cheap pizza at in the past.
According to a report, when the driver stepped out of his car, the individual who phoned in the order grabbed the pizzas and ran off. The delivery driver gave chase, eventually grabbing the thief, who then dropped the order. At that point two other suspects, who had been hiding nearby, came to their friend's assistance, shoving the delivery driver to the ground before they began to punch and kick him. The suspects (and presumably the pizza) then fled east towards 22nd Ave NE.
The delivery driver gave police the suspects cellphone number and said he could identify photos of the suspects.
For their part, police recommended that the driver and A Pizzamart not accept orders from that phone number/address in the future.

lol A pizzamart is definitely NOT worth the hassle of doin all of that.

Hatchet Job in Lake City

Report abuse | Location
Lake City
Map data ©2009 Google - Terms of UseView entire map >> Times are tough right now, and it appears that no one has been hit harder by the rough economy than Seattle's criminal underworld. Take for example this North Seattle robber, who not only had to use an unusual tool for his job, but seemed more than willing to bargain with one of his intended victims:
According to police, a man was picking up beer at a gas station on 120th and Lake City at around 9:00 p.m. last night when he noticed another man—described as a white male, 22-29 years old, 6’3, 200 lbs wearing blue hoodie—following him, carrying a hatchet.
The hatchet man followed the victim to NE 120th and 32nd Street NE, where he approached him and said "This could go one of two ways. Drop your wallet.” The victim refused, so the man with the hatchet made another demand: “then drop your beer."
The victim simply walked away from the man with hatchet, who yelled after him “I can throw this thing as well!"
The man didn't throw his hatchet and the victim went home and called 911. Police searched the area but were unable to locate the hatchet-wielding criminal mastermind.

Imposter Used Car Dealer Swindles Woman Out of $2,300, Then Sexually Assaults Her
By Brian Slodysko Recommend this story (0 votes)
Report abuse | Previous | 1of 1| Next
Until today we didn't think it was possible to drag the otherwise low-esteemed reputation of used car salesmen through the mud, but on December 11th a man impersonating a used car salesman swindled a Sandpoint woman out of $2,300, repeatedly groped her, and then threatened to kick her out of his car on I-5 if she didn't stop crying.
The cringe-worthy details come via a police report, stating that the victim contacted a man, whom she had known for several months and inaccurately believed to be a used car salesman at Wild West Trucks on Lake City Way, so that he could help her purchase a car.
The man arrived at her place in a license plate-less Mercedes-Benz, and together the two drove to Wild West Trucks. Upon arrival the man told the woman he needed her money to complete the purchase of car. He then entered the showroom, and after a short conversation with a saleman in the store he returned to the plate-less Mercedes, telling the woman that there was a mix-up and her car was actually at another dealership down the road. The man then drove her to another car lot and offered the woman vehicle on the lot. However, a salesman later came out of the office and told the two that the car actually belonged to the owner and was not for sale.
The two then repaired to the plate-less Benz and left the lot. A short while later the man pulled the car over, told the woman that they should get to know each other better and repeatedly tried to expose her breast by pulling her shirt up and grabbed the woman's crotch.
The man then drove to a Starbucks on Aurora Ave. N. for coffee, groping the woman's butt and breasts while waiting in line, while telling her that he would leave her at the Starbucks if she moved.
Later the woman began to cry as the two were driving near 130th Ave. N. and I-5, and the man told her to "shut the fuck up or he would leave her out in the middle of I-5,"and then hit her on the head with a closed fist, according to the report.
Eventually he dropped the woman off to her Sandpoint apartment, leaving with all of her $2,300.

Robbery foiled by shoe-wielding victim
On November 28th at around 1:20 a.m., a 16-year-old male suspect and a 22-year-old male victim were at a Metro bus stop near Rainier Avenue S and S Henderson Street. The suspect grabbed the victim’s cell phone and began running. The victim gave chase, armed with a soccer shoe. The victim was faster than the suspect and began liberally applying his shoe to the would-be robber. The suspect, deciding that arrest was a better option, ran to a passing patrol car for assistance. The suspect was subsequently arrested and booked into into the Youth Service Center for Investigation of Robbery.

Rancho Cordova man arrested; suspected of stealing video games

From Bee staff:
Rocklin police detectives have arrested a Rancho Cordova man suspected of stealing 54 video games from a family during its move into a Rocklin home, authorities report.
According to a police department news release, Angel Sanchez Jr. (left photo), 18, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of possessing stolen property, obstruction of a peace officer with threats and participating in a criminal street gang.
The release provided these details:
On Nov. 5, the video games, worth $2,900, were stolen from the Rocklin home while a moving company was unpacking the family's personal belongings. The family had recently moved to Rocklin from Michigan.
Detectives assigned the case found a business in Rancho Cordova where one of the movers had sold four of the reported stolen video games. These games were sold to the store approximately one hour after the mover left the victim's home.

Sanchez was booked into the Placer County Jail and his bail is set at $50,000.
