Seattle teens armed with horrifying arsenal of modified weapons wreak havoc on city in week-long crime spree
2026-07-20
[DM] Four Seattle teenagers who unleashed a spree of violent crimes across Portland were arrested Friday after a dayslong manhunt.

Portland officers searched for the teens from July 14 to the early hours of July 17, when a gas station clerk was shot five times during a Friday morning robbery at 4.45am, police said in a statement.

The teens, two 17-year-old boys, a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, were arrested in a house raid, after Portland police linked them to the series of crimes, according to KATU.

Police uncovered a disturbing cache of weapons allegedly connected to the group, including four firearms that had been illegally modified with conversion devices, commonly known as switches, which allow certain semi-automatic weapons to fire at a much faster rate.

The series of assaults started with a carjacking on Tuesday at 12.36 am, when police responded to reports of an armed robbery at gunpoint of a car that took place at Northeast 73rd Ave.

The driver, who was working for a rideshare service, was approached by multiple armed suspects who robbed him and fled in his car. The victim ran away on foot and sustained minor injuries.
