Officers in Renton arrested two juveniles, ages 14 and 16, accused of pulling a gun on two children as they were walking down the street.

Police said the teens were involved in a crime spree that began around 2:20 p.m. Tuesday when they stole a car, drove it erratically, stole packages, and then pointed a gun at the eight and 10-year-old victims who were on a sidewalk.

Renton police were helped by the sheriff's helicopter, Guardian One, which located the suspects in the stolen Hyundai. The helicopter tracked the Hyundai as it blew through red lights and at one point, nearly hit a pedestrian.

The teens eventually drove underneath an awning at the Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, where all four of them jumped out and ran.

Police and mall security located two of the teens, who were arrested and later released to their families. Two other teens got away, and police are working to apprehend them.

2:13 Tacoma businesses targeted by property crime or needing security upgrades can apply for help through a new grant program using federal pandemic funds.

Smashed and etched-out windows cover small businesses in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood. Undeniable Bajinya clothing store owner Nathalie Bajinya said five break-ins over three years have cost her about $130,000 for window repairs and lost merchandise.

She's hoping to be among the eligible applicants for Tacoma's Small Business Renewal grant. It offers up to $5,000 to offset property damage claims for busted windows, doors and fencing. A $10,000 Impact Upgrade grant is another option for safety improvements, like window security film and lighting.
