Police Search for Robbery, Carjacking Suspect

Seattle, WA: The Seattle Police Department is searching for a male suspect who stole cash and a handgun in a robbery at a Central District convenience store shortly before carjacking a woman.

The suspect entered the store in the 2100 block of East Union Street just before 8:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 2, threatened to shoot a store employee and a customer, and demanded cash.
