We have a report from concerned neighbors about a bold daytime break-in and burglary today around 2pm near 4th Ave N and Howe St.
A neighbor saw three young men (late teens/early 20s) wearing backpacks photographing a neighbor’s garage. The neighbor called 911 for suspicious activity, and the three criminals began throwing stuff out the second story of the targeted house. While the neighbor was on the phone with 911, they saw her and one mouthed “put down the phone”.
According to friends and neighbors, SPD arrived within five minutes. A report has been filed with SPD, but heads up that there is a group of very brazen thieves robbing houses on Queen Anne during the daytime when neighbors are at home and in sight.
Edited for proper terminology – burglary.
