Two women tell Seattle Police they were attacked by two men while they were walking near 97th and Dayton at about 1 a.m. One woman was taken by the men, but later found elsewhere in North Seattle and taken to the hospital, according to police.
From the Seattle Police Blotter:
On 6/21/11, just shortly before 1:00 a.m., officers responded to the 9700 block of Dayton Ave N. to investigate an abduction. Officers contacted a 19-year-old female and she stated the following: She and a friend, a 20-year-old female were walking in the 9700 block of Dayton Av N just shortly before 1 a.m. The pair was walking when 2 hispanic males appeared from a darkened corner of the street.
Suspect 1, grabbed the 20-yr-old victim and proceeded to pull her into the darkened area. Suspect 2 grabbed the 19-yr-old victim/witness and also attempted to pull her into the darkened area however, she fought him away.
Both suspects then focused their efforts on the 20-year-old victim and pulled her approximately 30 feet to a parked vehicle. They fled the scene S/B on Dayton.
The vehicle is described as a light colored, newer sedan with Washington plates. The license plate may contain the letters/number L,R and the number 4.
The suspects are described as 2 hispanic males in their 20′s. Suspect 1 was armed with a handgun and wore a mask or face covering.
CSI and Homicide responded and processed the scene.
Update* Victim has been located. She was found at a location in North Seattle and was taken to an area hospital as a precaution.
And if anyone was wondering, that’s why at least one news helicopter was over the area at about 6 a.m.

KIRO TV has some updated info on this story. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers should spend some time in North Seattle. This story is sickening.

They are working to get surveillance pics from 7-11 and a suspect sketch. Here is the interview KIRO did with the mom of the victim. http://www.kirotv.com/news/28326614/detail.html

Geez! Just because the suspects are described as hispanic doesn’t mean they are illegal immigrants. There are bad Americans, too. I live pretty close to that location, though, so that’s pretty scary!

Unfortunately, law enforcement authorities across the state are reporting increased crime including sexual assaults are being committed due to the increased influx of illegal aliens to this area. Bellingham, Edmonds, Spokane, Mt. Vernon, South King and Pierce Counties have all reported increased Hispanic gang activities, drugs, sexual assaults, robberies, etc. We can’t continue to ignore this problem while our young women are preyed upon like this. And, of course, we do have enough home-grown crime so we certainly don’t need to import it.
