Summary
Five people were arrested Friday night after Portland police tracked suspects to a Northeast Portland house, where tactical units detained 12 people and seized multiple handguns.
Four Seattle teenagers were charged in connection with a week of violent crimes, including two first-degree robberies and a 76 gas station shooting that left an employee shot five times but expected to survive after extensive surgery.
Detectives said the same group was also tied to Tuesday incidents that began with an armed carjacking of a rideshare driver, followed by an attempted car break-in where suspects pointed handguns at a resident.
The final Tuesday attack hit a convenience store on Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, where suspects robbed employees at gunpoint and struck one worker in the head with a handgun.
A 36-year-old Portland man, Andrew Robinson, was also arrested at the house, but police said his arrest was tied only to unrelated outstanding warrants.
