LYNNWOOD – Three people were arrested Sunday after allegedly breaking into a Lynnwood condominium and robbing five people at gunpoint late Saturday, police said.
No one was seriously injured in the incident. One person who was at first believed to be a victim, a 20-year-old Lynnwood woman, was found to be a co-conspirator and was among those arrested, Lynnwood police spokeswoman Shannon Sessions said. One of the suspected robbers was still at large late Sunday.
“The suspects and victims were known to each other,” she said.
Three men burst into the condo in the 20600 block of 60th Avenue W. and herded the six people into a bedroom, Sessions said. The gunmen robbed the victims and hit one of them, a man, over the head with a gun, but he did not require treatment, she said. The robbers then ransacked the rest of the unit and took more items before fleeing.
Two of the three suspects, 18- and 20-year-old men from Shoreline, were located there and arrested early Sunday. The male suspect still at large is believed to be in his mid-20s. Police recovered most of the stolen property and the weapons used in the robbery, Sessions said.
The victims are three men and two women, all in their late teens or early 20s.
The suspects were booked into the Snohomish County Jail on suspicion of first-degree robbery.
