Bellevue Police arrested a 26-year-old Kent man Wednesday at a Kent apartment complex for investigation of first-degree robbery in connection with a Tuesday robbery in Bellevue.
A Bellevue SWAT team surrounded the Dutchess of Kent Apartments at about 5:22 a.m. Wednesday in the 700 block of State Avenue North, near the bottom of the James Street hill, said Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden, during a phone interview.
Police took the man into custody without incident. The SWAT team responded because the man displayed a gun during the reported robbery in Bellevue, Harnden said. The robbery occurred at about 5 p.m. Tuesday in the 100 block of 108th Avenue Southeast. Cash and other items were taken during the robbery.
Police followed suspect leads to the apartment complex in Kent, where police served a warrant and arrested a man. Police transported the man to the King County jail.
