Edmonds police are investigating a carjacking that took place near Swedish Edmonds Hospital about 5:15 p.m. Thursday night. The female suspect is still at large, driving a stolen 2015 red Subaru Impreza with a Washington license plate: AWP1969. She is considered to be armed so if you spot the vehicle, call 911.
According to Edmonds police spokesman Sgt. Shane Hawley, the victim — a 17-year-old Mountlake Terrace woman — told police that she picked up the suspect at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood after the woman asked for a ride to the hospital. Once they arrived in the 21600 block of Highway 99, the suspect informed the victim that she wanted her car and that she had a gun.
The victim refused to give the suspect the vehicle and a fight ensued inside the car, with the victim eventually being pushed out, suffering minor injuries, Hawley said.
The suspect is described as a white female, in her 20s or 30s, with blonde hair in two braids and wearing a black puffy jacket.
