RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Police arrested two men and seized three guns after serving a search warrant at a Renton home as part of an ongoing robbery and firearms-related investigation Friday.
Police served the warrant at the home located in the 2600 block of Northeast 23rd Street just after 1:00 p.m. Friday.
Upon entering the home, detectives learned the primary suspect, a person of interest in multiple armed robberies, was in possession of firearms, which is prohibited as he is a convicted felon.
Officers seized two handguns and a short-barreled rifle from the property. They also recovered additional evidence related to multiple robberies that are still under investigation.
The 18-year-old primary suspect was arrested for unlawful possession of firearms and detectives will continue to investigate his possible involvement in armed robberies that have taken place throughout King County.
A second suspect, a 20-year-old man, was also arrested for his involvement in an armed robbery at a South Seattle cannabis shop in early January.
Both men have been booked into King County Jail.
