Mountlake Terrace police investigate string of robberies

Mountlake Terrace police are investigating a string of robberies over a span of two days in January.

The first robbery happened at a convenience store on Jan. 2. On the same day, a man had stepped outside during his guitar lesson to deal with a work emergency when he was robbed.

Police said one person was attacked outside a church and another person was robbed near a mosque.

All locations were within half a mile of each other.

Police said teens are robbing people at gunpoint. Two of the suspects were arrested but they are still looking for several more.

Police told KIRO 7 that the department will discuss the incidents with residents Tuesday during a city council meeting.
