An 11-year-old child, among the 3 arrested in a row of armed robbery

An 11-year-old child is among three suspects who have been arrested in connection with a string of armed robberies at convenience stores and gas stations in the Seattle area, police said.

The 11-year-old boy, a 21-year-old man and a 19-year-old man are accused of four robberies in two hours early Friday morning and a fifth robbery Friday night, Seattle police said.

The suspects, who wore protective masks and were armed with guns, demanded merchandise and cash before fleeing in stolen cars, police said.

No one was injured, police said.

After the fifth robbery Friday night, the suspects led multiple law enforcement agencies on a car chase that spanned multiple jurisdictions, police said.

The suspects eventually stopped the car and fled on foot before being taken into custody without incident, police said Saturday.

The adults were booked into the King County Jail and the 11-year-old was taken to Judge Patricia H. Clark Children & Family Justice Center, police said.

No weapons were recovered, police said.
