On Thursday February 5, at 4:03am Shoreline officers responded to an alarm at a business in the 18300 block of Aurora Ave N.
The first officer arrived within a minute and noticed two individuals running from the location. A perimeter was set up and a Sheriff’s Office K9 deputy responded with his partner “Atilla” to do a track.
Witnesses called 911 to report a subject running through their yard, and officers were able to adjust the perimeter appropriately based on this information.
At 4:30 am one of the suspects was found by the K9 unit in the 18200 block of Stone Ave hiding in a back yard shed and taken into custody.
The suspect is 34 years old, from Seattle. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of Burglary. Video surveillance from the store was used as confirmation on the suspect.
The suspect’s vehicle was found with stolen property near it and impounded for a search warrant. The investigation continues to try and identify the second suspect and determine if they were involved in additional crimes.
Great police work, Chief Ledford and your Shoreline police force. And great reporting by the SAN, Diane. No premature release of perp names, no kangaroo courts. Text messaging neighbors through the Nextdoor Urgent Alert feature would have been entirely appropriate for this. Complete sanity. Refreshing.
