Seattle, WA, USA - May 7, 2024.

A month-long crime spree in Seattle culminated in a dramatic vehicle pursuit and subsequent arrest of five juvenile males, suspected to be behind a string of offenses including vehicle thefts, vehicular assaults, and robberies.

The pursuit unfolded when officers responded to reports of five masked males abandoning a running vehicle on 16th Avenue Northwest. Upon learning of their involvement in additional crimes earlier that day, law enforcement swiftly mobilized, with SWAT, Patrol, and various detective units converging on the area.

Following a brief pursuit, the juveniles collided with another vehicle at an intersection, resulting in no major injuries. Three suspects were swiftly apprehended, with a fourth captured after a short foot chase. The fifth was located with the assistance of air support unit Guardian One.

The juveniles, aged 12 to 16, are believed to have orchestrated over a dozen incidents since late April, including armed robberies, assaults, auto thefts, and hit-and-runs. They have been remanded to the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center to face multiple felony charges.
