Seattle Police are investigating a brazen armed robbery that took place in Madison Park, where a man was targeted for his $45,000 Rolex wristwatch. The incident unfolded around 3:22 PM when the victim arrived home, only to be confronted by three suspects who had been waiting in a vehicle. The attackers, described as a male and female wearing hoodies and ski masks, swiftly grabbed the expensive watch before fleeing the scene in a blue GMC Terrain SUV. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, but the robbery marks the second high-profile heist in the area within weeks, prompting concerns about safety among residents. Last month, another robbery occurred at a local bank, adding to the unease in this affluent neighborhood.

Police are actively seeking information from the public to aid in their investigation. The alarming nature of these crimes highlights the need for increased vigilance and community awareness. As the investigation continues, residents are urged to stay alert and report any suspicious activity.
