#2022-020855/North Precinct/Second Watch:
On 01-25-2022 at 1746 hours, for the second night in a row at the same time as before, suspects similar to those described in Monday night’s SIRs (22-19984, 22-20087, and 22-20112) assaulted/car-jacked a victim in the U-District at about 1754 hours. The victim was a food-delivery driver who momentarily left his car with the keys in it while picking up an order in the 4500 block of University Way NE. When he returned to the car, the suspects confronted him. The thin suspect used a stun-gun/taser device to contact-stun him and the heavier suspect brandished a knife. The taser suspect drove away with the car (s/b on the Ave) while the heavier suspect walked away. Area checks were negative and rush-hour foot and vehicle traffic precluded the option for a K9 track. Third Watch was notified of this recurrence and additional SPD resources responded to the area for extra patrols.
