Police with the Renton Police Department (RPD) arrested two convicted felons, one of whom is a known gang member, RPD confirmed to 成人X站 Newsradio Tuesday.
Officers believe the pair is responsible for a string of ATM robberies in King and Pierce counties that started last year.
On Friday, RPD’s Violent Crime Unit, along with its SWAT team, arrested Diana Hayward, 39, and Sean Coleman, 39, on unrelated outstanding warrants. However, law enforcement said it has reason to believe the duo is connected to the ATM robbery ring.
“They could quite possibly face charges if detectives can gather probable cause for their arrest,” RPD’s Meeghan Black said.

Coleman was considered armed and dangerous, which led to the SWAT team being called in.
“These two have prolific criminal records,” Black said. “Hayward has 23 felony convictions for residential burglary and motor vehicle theft. Coleman has five felony convictions and was arrested on two felony warrants for illegal possession of a firearm.”
Both were arrested without incident. Police recovered two guns and seven cell phones believed to have been used in the crimes.
