Federal Way, Bellevue police investigating teen girls in pajamas on alleged crime spree

There has been an unexpected twist to the smash-and-grab tales we’ve been telling you on KIRO 7.

Last week, pajama-clad teenagers were seen across King and Pierce Counties brazenly smashing car windows in the driveways and parking lots of people’s residences.

On Tuesday, the Federal Way Police Department told KIRO 7 that while they do not have police reports on file from addresses that shared their security footage, another incident Sunday afternoon could connect them to the smash-and-grab spree.

Federal Way police said around 2:15 p.m. on Sunday, officers were sent to a robbery happening at the Safeway on 320th Street.

Callers reported that several women were “violently” assaulting a woman and tried to still her purse off her shoulder.

Among the witnesses was a retired police officer who saw the assault and intervened. One woman was detained at the scene by bystanders while the others took off in a stolen Kia.

Officers said they identified all the women as juveniles.

Police went to an apartment where one of the teenagers lives. Officers said when they knocked on the door, the teen tried to escape by crawling through a window but was captured by officers.
