Over on our sister site FirstHillSeattle.com, we are reporting on another street hold-up where the victim has told police that the armed street robbers appear to be children.

The early Monday morning hold-up happened on the street near Boren and University and features two suspects with similar descriptions to the Sunday morning armed street robbery on Capitol Hill we reported over the weekend.

In that incident, a woman told police two black males, one aged aged 13 or 14 the other possibly as young as 10 or 11, pointed a pistol at her and demanded her purse. The First Hill hold-up featured the same modus operandi as the Capitol Hill theft. A woman was approached by two young black males on the sidewalk of Boren around 2:30 Monday morning. The males threatened her with a pistol and stole her purse.

SPD is investigating the hold-ups but we are not aware of any arrests connected to the crimes yet.

In April, a string of armed hold-ups across the Capitol and First Hill was ended when a trio of teenagers were busted following a robbery. The pistol in those hold-ups turned out to be an Airsoft air gun. We’ll check in on their statuses and and see where in the legal system the case against the group stands.
