One man is in custody and another remains at large after a home invasion style robbery took place early Wednesday morning in Everett, followed by a pursuit through Shoreline.
A call came in to Everett 911 dispatch around 2:30am, with the caller reporting that two men with pistols and bandanas covering their faces were robbing a residence at the 8700 block of Gothic Way.
Witnesses were able to provide a description of the suspect vehicle. A K9 deputy in the area located the vehicle and followed it to I-5.
A pursuit southbound on I-5 ensued. Assistance was provided by Mountlake Terrace Police by deploying a “spike strip”, puncturing one of the suspect vehicle’s tires and causing it to slow down.
The pursuit ended when the suspect vehicle exited I-5 at the 145th NE St exit and crashed through a fence and came to rest at the NW corner of the Jackson Golf Course in Seattle on the Shoreline border.
The two suspects fled the vehicle on foot and the deputy and K9 immediately tracked and captured one of the suspects, a 31 year-old male who was booked in the Snohomish County jail for 1st degree burglary and 1st degree robbery. The suspect vehicle has been impounded for evidence.
The search for the second suspect was suspended around 5:30am. The suspects were not known nor were recognizable to the victims.
Everett Police confirmed with the burglary victims that the suspects stole an AR15 assault rifle.
The incident remains under investigation.
