Suspects break into Center House, get drunk & binge on baked goods

December 8th, 2009 · 14 Comments

Our friends over at SeattleCrime.com have caught wind of an interesting Queen Anne break in almost a week ago now. According to a police report, two people broke into the Center House at Seattle Center sometime either late in the evening of Monday, November 30, or early in the morning on Tuesday, December 1, triggering the alarm. According to the report, the two got drunk and ate a bunch of baked good from a food case in one of the cafes, the keys to which employees said are usually hidden. Police reported that they found a half-consumed bottle of vodka and half-eaten muffin at the site the next day, and suspect that an ex-employee let go back in September may have been involved. “The suspects thought that they had disarmed the alarm system prior to their alcohol binge,” Officer Stephan Auralaid wrote in the report. However, an alarm was in fact triggered, and police have video of the two suspects inside the Center House. Some of the cafe staff believe they may be able to identify them.

Thanks, SeattleCrime.com, for the report!
