Police said the incidents occurred between 2:30 to 3:40 p.m. on Sept. 17. Victims said three female suspects traveling in either a "red or gray sedan or a gray SUV approached them, struck up a conversation, and allegedly stole their jewelry from their necks or arms in the process," according to police.
One victim was then targeted while picking up a child from school, and another was forcibly held down during the crime, police said.At around 2:45 p.m., Bellevue police said at the intersection of NE 13th Place and 156th Avenue NE, a female victim told police a suspect removed her gold necklace while she was waiting at a school bus stop. Police said the victim only realized the jewelry was missing after the thief left the scene in a gray SUV.
Police said victims from all three incidents did not sustain any serious physical injuries, but the Bellevue Police Department is asking all residents to use caution when being approached by strangers in vehicles and follow simple guidelines that parents often share with their young children:Provide distance between a stranger and you during a conversation
