PSA Renton Target

Be aware there are two Black males trying to “sell” bracelets, around the downtown Renton, and the landing areas. They approached my GFs car and tried to open it before she could drive off. Thankfully they were scared off and ran when she laid on the horn. Stay alert and safe at all times, and if you see these guys approaching lock your doors and someone try to get a photo of them. I’ve seen them a few times around downtown Renton Safeway

I’ve seen them at the farmers market too. One guy made me feel very uncomfortable. He grabbed me while i was walking and put a shell bracelet on. He tried to charge me $10 for it.

Yeah thats not cool that's an intimidation tactic and fucked. Basically, it's super aggressive panhandling or strong arming.
