Kent Police are investigating a pair of carjackings that occurred the evening of Jan. 21 in Kent.<\/p>\n
Based on the description of the suspect in each case, police believe that the two incidents may be related, according to a Kent Police media release.<\/p>\n
The first incident was reported at 7:45 p.m. Jan. 21 when the owner of a late model Ford 500 sedan was accosted in the parking lot of the Island Park Apartments in the 23500 block of 60th Avenue South.<\/p>\n
The suspect, a black male adult wearing a mask, brandished a handgun while demanding the car. There were no injuries in the incident.<\/p>\n
Thirty minutes later, Kent officers were called to a carjacking at the Heather Ridge Condominiums in the 9600 block of South 248th Street. In this case, a similarly described suspect used a gun to steal a Ford Ranger pickup from its owner. Once again, no one was hurt. Police found the truck a short time later.<\/p>\n
“It’s very unusual to have two incidents of this nature, involving the same suspect, happen so closely together,” said Kent Police Lt. Pat Lowery.<\/p>\n
Officers are continuing their examination of the truck they recovered for leads about the suspect as well as searching for the missing sedan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
