Police arrested a home invasion robber suspect Sunday night after he allegedly entered a Federal Way man’s home, assaulted him and eventually stole a car and kidnapped a woman who was in the back seat.

The incident began at 4:13 p.m., when Federal Way police officers responded to a home invasion robbery at 28900 28th Place S. in Federal Way. The victim told police an unknown male entered his house, assaulted him and stole his Mercedes, according to Cathy Schrock, police spokeswoman.

There were no notable injuries to the victim, she said.

The suspect then fled and dumped the Mercedes near Auburn at the Circle K gas station located at South 288th Street and 51st Avenue South in King County. He proceeded to steal another vehicle, kidnapping a woman who was in the back seat. Police said there was a gun in the trunk of that car.

Federal Way police located the stolen vehicle at The Commons mall and initiated a pursuit, which ended in Milton when the suspect’s stolen vehicle slid into a ditch, Schrock said. The woman was unharmed.

The 24-year-old Auburn man was booked into King County jail, pending charges of kidnapping, robbery and auto theft.

The suspect has a prior felony conviction for taking a motor vehicle without permission, as well as a misdemeanor warrant out of Federal Way for forgery.

The man was also arrested on April 4 for allegedly stealing two vehicles — including a Mercedes. In that case, Auburn police initiated a K-9 track of the suspect when a woman reported a suspicious Mercedes was parked next to her home. As she passed the vehicle, a man inside the Mercedes ducked down, according to probable cause documents.

Police found the suspect walking southbound in the 400 block of the alley between Pike Street Northeast and R Street Northeast in Auburn. He had the Toyota keys on his person and police also found the keys to the stolen Mercedes nearby. In the April 4 vehicle theft case, the suspect was unconditionally released from jail on April 14.
