SEATTLE — South Seattle residents are still on edge after another elderly Asian couple was held at gunpoint Thursday morning.

The Seattle Police Department (SPD) said a group of five young black male suspects woke up the couple around 5:00 AM, armed with firearms, demanding money.

The SPD acknowledged multiple Asian families have been the targets of home invasion-style takeover robberies and noted Thursday's was believed to be connected.

Since the start of June, officers said the crimes have been especially bad in the 98108, 98118, 98144, and 98178 zip codes.
