SEATTLE – Seattle police are looking for four people believed to have robbed a hair salon in Rainier Valley at gunpoint on October 17th.

Surveillance cameras recorded the robbery in the King Way Salon in front of Martin Luther King Jr. Way around 6 p.m. on Sunday. The suspects came into the salon wearing masks from the Halloween horror film Scream.

Three of the suspects were caught on camera walking through the front door and one of them pulled out a gun and asked for cash.

“They ask me, ‘money, money, money’. And I said, ‘money is over there,'” explained Jenny, the salon owner, who didn’t want her last name to be used.

Jenny said the three suspects in the salon cleared the cash register and robbed several customers and employees. The owner said she and her staff were still shaken by what happened.

“When I think about it, I’m still scared right now,” said Jenny.

The salon has since upgraded its security system and strengthened the locks. Jenny said she couldn’t take time off work.

“I definitely have to work, right. I have my children, my four daughters – I have to look after them, ”she said.

Seattle Police are asking anyone with information about the crime to contact them.
