Police are still searching for clues and looking for new leads in a Sept. 27 strong arm-robbery case that occurred in North Issaquah.

Officers said a man wearing a brightly-colored shirt contacted a female resident at around 11:30 am at the Spiritwood at Pine Lake retirement community, located at 3607 228th Ave. Southeast.

After a brief conversation with the victim, police said the subject grabbed her hand and attempted to pull the ring off of her finger. When he was unable to remove it, he pulled a gold bracelet from her wrist. The suspect then reportedly fled into a wooded area nearby.

Spiritwood Executive Director John Wallace confirmed the robbery occurred on the property outside of the building as the woman was walking her dog from a motorized cart.

He said the facility was set in a “very tranquil setting” and said it was the first time in his 16 years working in the retirement home business that he’d seen a crime like this.

“We’re working with residents and advising them to buddy up when they go outside,” he said.

Spiritwood at Pine Lake was built as a retirement and assisted living community in 2006 and contains 92 units.

According to Wallance, the woman suffered no injuries.

Issaquah Police searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic Male in his 30s and approximately 5 foot 9 inches in height with a medium build. The suspect was reportedly seen wearing a hat and bright colored shirt at the time of the robbery.

Questions may be directed to Commander Behrbaum or Detective Sergeant Porter with the Issaquah Police Department at (425) 837-3200.
