A Sealth High School student was, according to the Seattle Police Department, walking in the 2100 block of SW Thistle St around 7:30 AM when two teenage boys approached him.

One of the two threatened the student with a knife, and demanded money. He was forced him to empty his backpack. Both suspects then grabbed his cell phone and took off.

The student ran to school and contacted staff, who called 911.

Officers conducted a search but were unable to find the suspects. The victim described the suspects as a white male, 15 years old, 5’7, wearing tan cargo shorts, a green hooded jacket and white shoes and a Hispanic male, also 15, 5’5, wearing a black hooded jacket and white shoes.

SPD’s Southwest Precinct is working with school officials to ensure the safety of students as they travel to and from campuses in West Seattle.
