Seattle Police are investigating a brazen armed robbery that took place in Madison Park, where a man was targeted for his $45,000 Rolex wristwatch. The incident unfolded around 3:22 PM when the victim arrived home, only to be confronted by three suspects who had been waiting in a vehicle. The attackers, described as a male and female wearing hoodies and ski masks, swiftly grabbed the expensive watch before fleeing the scene in a blue GMC Terrain SUV. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, but the robbery marks the second high-profile heist in the area within weeks, prompting concerns about safety among residents.
