The following information was compiled from City of Renton police reports.

A woman was robbed at gunpoint at her apartment complex on the 2100 block of Southwest Sunset Boulevard.

The responding police officer felt there was a strong enough lead to eventually make an arrest, but the victim was unwilling to cooperate with police.

She was walking to her apartment when she passed a parked van with a driver Aug. 15. A man then came behind her with a gun and said, “Let it go.”

She dropped the purse, and the man got in the van and drove away.

She gave the officer the license-plate number of the van. The officer checked the van’s registration address, but the van owner no longer lived at that address.

The vehicle hadn’t been reported stolen, so there still was a possible connection. The officer assembled a photo montage for the woman.

But when she was unwilling to come in, the officer learned the name she gave didn’t have a Department of Licensing record.

The officer found a few women with warrants that matched the victim’s description.

Home burglary

Thieves smashed padlocks on a garage door and took several tools, including a compressor and router on the 1500 block of North Brooks Street.

The neighbors told the homeowner that they hadn’t noticed anything suspicious after she left the house Aug. 11. She returned the next day to find the home burglarized.

Employee gives chase to iPod thief

A man in his late 30s was seen stealing two Nano iPods from a warehouse store on the 900 block of South Grady Way Aug. 16.

Initially an employee turned off the alarm thinking it had gone off mistakenly.

He walked over to the electronics area of the store, when he saw the man and heard the alarm go off a second time.

He suspected the man cut the wires securing the iPods to the display case.

When the employee chased him, the man yelled that he didn’t do anything and ran outside.

He jumped into a white Honda Civic with three other men and they drove off.

Stolen bikes

Two bicycles were stolen from a 72-year-old woman’s backyard on the 2200 block of Northeast 16th Street Aug. 13.

Both bicycles were red and one was a street bike and the other a mountain bike.

Son punches father

A son punched his father three times in the face and once in the neck because he didn’t want to clean up his dog’s urine at the father’s house Aug. 6.

When police arrived, a brother was holding down the son in the front lawn on the 9700 block of South 200th Street.

When police took over for the brother, the son began to try kicking the brothers.

Police had to pin him face down on the ground as they handcuffed and arrested him.

Drunk strikes tree

A man was arrested for drunken driving after he swerved toward a police officer, jumped a curb and struck a tree Aug. 20.

His van struck the tree so hard the airbags deployed. The man wasn’t injured.

Police smelled alcohol on his breath and asked him to perform a field sobriety test. He failed the test, though his initial blood alcohol readings were .062 and .070.

Police arrested him for a DUI and booked him in jail before driving him home.
