WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Car-theft attempt on Genesee Hill – and possibly related sighting in Morgan Junction

Two more reader reports. First:

Around 6:00 pm, an attempted car robbery on 51st Ave SW next to Genesee Hill Elementary.

3 individuals – 2 white males wearing black ski masks, black snow pants and black and white ski coats, one female wearing a N95 mask — attempted to steal our black 2006 Audi.

They were driving a white 4-door Hyundai Elantra, no license plates.

One male was inside the car and was able to start the car when we ran after them, they were able to get away and drive toward Genesse Hill street.

They looked young, possibly in their late teens. This has been reported to the police.

Report # is 25-174087. And separately, we received this report:

Reported this evening around 8 PM on June 23 by a neighbor:

Corner of California Ave and Holly St. right on the corner where the hair salon is across from McDonalds…

A white Hyundai Elantra with paper temp WA plates – and 4 what looked like young people speed down that street past me toward Fauntleroy – and all 4 were wearing black ski masks, and they flipped me off as they drove by.

Didn’t see where they went as by the time I got to the corner, they were gone.

Please be on alert; the vehicle could’ve been stolen or involved in a burglary.
