Two arrests were made Feb. 24 in connection with the Feb. 13 robbery of a man walking down 44th Avenue in front of MTHS.
Parents of MTHS students were alerted to the robbery a week later via email due to the close proximity of the school to the scene of the crime. The email indicated that four men had attacked a lone 18-year-old at around 6:30 p.m., beating him and stealing his cell phone. Other details included that in addition to punching the victim, who was not an MTHS student, one suspect threatened to use a machete on him if he did not comply with the robbery.
The crime could not be reported immediately, as the victim was no longer in possession of a cell phone, but two teenaged suspects were identified and arrested 11 days later. The suspects are from Everett and aged 16 and 17, with the 16-year-old accused of being the machete wielder. Police are actively searching for a third suspect but have not provided any further details to the public.
There was another armed robbery the two days later within four blocks of MTHS, though students were not formally informed by school administrators in this case.
An Asian market was robbed at gunpoint by a suspect described by the victim as a black male in his 20s or 30s, who wielded a black air pistol later found near the scene of the crime. No arrests have been made in this case, and the two robberies are not believed to be related. Persons with relevant information are encouraged to contact the Mountlake Terrace Police Department.
