Seattle Police are looking for a trio of bandits who targeted a man for his $45,000 Rolex wristwatch as he pulled into the driveway of a Madison Park home in a Tuesday afternoon gunpoint robbery.
SPD reports the victim told officers the armed suspects were waiting in a vehicle as he arrived around 3:22 PM and rushed toward him, grabbing the expensive watch, and then fleeing the scene.
According to East Precinct radio updates, a male and female armed suspect wearing hoodies and ski masks perpetrated the crime while a third suspect waited in the getaway vehicle.
Police were searching for a blue GMC Terrain SUV reported speeding from the scene on the 2200 block of 38th Place E.
There were no reported injuries.
The robbery is the second high profile heist in the wealthy lakefront area in recent weeks. Last month, police were searching for a woman suspect who fled the scene — and ditched her wig — after ripping off $2,000 in cash from the neighborhood’s Homestreet Bank.

Sadly, they were going to fence it to buy a comb…
Lol this is why a $45k piece of jewelry is ridiculous. No sympathy for the rich.
Same thing for the stupid!!
Agree! Such a watch is for only one reason: to show off your wealth. What a stupid waste of money.
we cannot let lawlessness prevail.
So gross. A person, a senior, was robbed at gun point, at their home, and your reply is.. no sympathy? What type of armed robbery might you have some compassion for the victim?
Your thoughtless overempathy doesn’t convince anyone.
Are we rooting for Hobbes war of all against all? Murder CEO of insurance co, cheer! Vandalize Teslaβs, Cheer! Rob person, Cheer! Letβs all be nasty and brutish until western culture collapses. Cheer.
I really am concerned for the vacuum left behind. We have the current administration hyper adding to suck, and we have a neighborhood cheering the robbing someone owning a valuable item. Brezhnev wore a Rolex, a sign of wealth and elitism, even if a βgift.β Being robbed of an item is now ok? Letβs be brutish, if a gun is involved, life might be short.
My [sic] overempathy stems from being 2022 sidewalk robbed, near my home, of my daily doβer wedding band. It was $350.00βish poor purchased, at Fred Meyer Jeweler, Ballard, and wouldnβt receive big market value if pawned. To me, worth +/- a moderately priced condo in south Snohomish County. It was a deep sting of momentous loss. I can put a 800k emotional value on an item so that I can leave, here, that is now a hairy and stinky armpit.
We’re rooting for you to stop being myopic on what signs and signals you use to determine a sick society trying to kill itself and feeling extra about a watch that got returned, when you know damn well people are being disappeared without any recourse by The State, and the planet’s ecosystem is gonna be pretty effed in 10-20 years.
I hate to put it this way, but you’re reading symptoms as disease itself, and it’s hard to feel anything more than ‘yeah, systems are fucked when people have a years worth of wages on their arm and there are bandit crews trying to snatch them’.
you disgust me
I thought Robin Hood was dead.
No worries. Rest assured the Sheriff will bring him and his merry men to justice.
Yeah sure, Iβll just bet this virtuous pair was going to fence it to buy shoes for orphansβ¦
lolol…uhuh…
