Volunteers are needed! Lets give the main drag through the neighborhood a spring spruce up. Show you care about our neighborhood. The Crown Hill Business Association and the Crown Hill Neighborhood Association are teaming up to do a general cleanup along 15th Ave NW and Holman Road. Meet at the Petco parking lot at 9 AM. Be prepared to pick up litter, paint out graffiti, tidy up vegetation working alongside your neighborhood businesses and neighbors.
Approximately 4 AM Monday Morning, March 28th 2011, the owner of the Thirsty Fish at 9041 Holman Road was beaten and robbed. Details of the incident are available at the MyBallard site. The robbers got away with a bag of money, his wedding ring, and wallet.
In light of this incident and the earlier robbery at Whitman Middle School, I’m taking this opportunity to remind every one to:
On March 3rd, a woman waiting in her car for her kids to be finished with basketball practice, was accosted by a lone man with a gun who robbed her of cash, then fled across the play field when she activated her car alarm. Police searched the area but did not locate the robber. On March 8th, the Seattle Police Department apprehended a suspect in the case and a string of other armed robberies. The suspect is being held at King County Jail on $100,000 bail until Friday March 11th, the deadline for the Prosecutor to file charges.
Extra caution is advised even though a suspect is in custody. In the other incidents, there were additional robbers. Always good to be aware of your surroundings in public areas, rather than absorbed in electronic devices. It is also a good idea to not be alone.
Below are links to stories from news sources and the SPD about the robbery and suspect apprehension:
