Description
Seattle police are warning of an increase in robberies in south end areas of the city, mostly targeting elderly members of the Asian community.
There have been 14 reported incidents since June, though police believe there may be more that went unreported. Of those incidents, 13 involved the elderly Asian community, said Seattle Police Department Detective Judinna Gulpan in a Tuesday press conference.
