The following information was compiled based on City of Renton police reports.

Two Renton teens were robbed of a custom-built scooter on May 14.

The 15-year-olds were at the Bronson Mini Mart, 1408 Bronson Way N., around 7 p.m. when one of them decided to go into the store. While the other 15-year-old waited outside, a black male described as being in his late teens or early 20s approached and began pulling on one of the scooters.

The man was wearing a black beanie hat, blue shirt and black pants. The 15-year-old yelled at the suspect and the man punched the boy in the face and took off with the scooter.

The two teens tried to chase the man but were unable to locate him.

Shotgun pointed

A Comcast contractor visited a Renton residence and got a shotgun surprise on May 16.

The 44-year-old went to a residence in the 1000 block of Whitman Court Northeast to retrieve five cable boxes from the Comcast customer at about 8:30 p.m. A 41-year-old man answered the door with a shotgun and told the contractor he had five seconds to leave or he would kill him.

The contractor said the man pointed the shotgun in his face; the man disputed this with police. The suspect told police he believed the contractor was a part of recent scams he’s heard about in the news involving fake Comcast representatives.

The contractor had Comcast identification, which he showed the man and a vehicle clearly marked with the company logo.

The man apologized and the contractor decided not to press charges.

Baby left at hospital

A four-month old child was left at Valley Medical Center on May 19.

Police were called at about 4 p.m. to do a welfare check at the hospital. The baby was brought by his father to the hospital at 400 S. 43rd St. to be treated for a minor lung infection. While the baby was being treated, the father disappeared and could not be reached by his cell phone. The mother was in jail and supposed to stay there for 20 more days.

Police contacted an aunt who said she was willing to watch the child.

Too aggressive

A civilian crime-prevention volunteer was counseled about over-stepping his authority after an incident  on May 19.

Police were called by the 16-year-old who leads a non-profit group, T.A.C. or Teens Against Crime, just after 7 p.m. He said he was being harassed by three males while he was patrolling the 500 block of Smithers Avenue South. The males accused him of walking on their property, looking through the windows of their vehicles and peering over their fence.

Police contacted someone else in the neighborhood,  who said the boy regularly peers into neighbors’ vehicles and over fences into backyards. They said he once handcuffed a 10-year-old boy and also made a mentally disabled person upset by being on their property. The teen was also said to have given citations and patrolled in a police service vest with a German shepherd.

Police warned the boy he was behaving like a prowler and giving the wrong impression regarding his authority –  he doesn’t have any. They advised him to call 911 if he observes criminal behavior.

Robbed at gunpoint

A woman was robbed at gunpoint just outside of her home in Renton on May 13.

The 25-year-old woman was at home in the 12200 block of Southeast Petrovitsky Road when she realized she left her purse in her vehicle a little after 11 p.m. She went outside to retrieve it, but noticed the large silhouette of a man. He lifted up her shirt and put a gun to her back, telling her not to say anything or he would shoot. He asked for her purse, which she gave him and he took off in a dark vehicle.
