Seattle Police say a Greenwood resident helped them arrest four suspected car prowlers early this morning. From the SPD Blotter:
An alert resident saw two suspicious men in the secure parking garage of his apartment complex in Greenwood early this morning and called 911. The caller reported that he was watching them just before 5:00 am as they looked into cars and entered at least one near N. 105th St. and Greenwood Avenue North. The caller remained on the line with 911 and stated that one of the men left the garage and went to a car parked out on the street. Officers arrived quickly and located the two suspects, along with two female passengers that were in the car. The caller verified that officers were talking to the correct suspects. The car the suspects had arrived in was missing both license plates and it was determined to have been reported stolen out of Marysville. The car contained numerous backpacks and electronic items, presumably stolen. The car was impounded to the processing room. The car inside the garage that the suspects had entered had significant damage to the ignition and a screwdriver was recovered. The suspects also had numerous car keys in their possession.
The two male suspects were arrested and booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Auto Theft and Burglary. The two female suspects were booked into jail for their outstanding warrants. Burglary and Auto Theft detectives will handle the follow up investigation.
Great teamwork from police and citizen. Makes the community much safer!
way to go, neighbor!
Great job alert citizen!
That’s excellent! A good neighbor!!
marvelous! Wonder if either of the two males had anything to do with the poor guy who was robbed at 9 pm in Greenwood yesterday.
Great job, neighbor!!! As a person who has had her car vandalized and stolen from, I love seeing these punks getting caught!
I wonder if they’re the ones that stole the wheels off my car around 3 am Tuesday morning.
They’ll be out in a day.
Thanks, neighbor! Sounds like you helped SPD get some pretty experienced thieves. Good on ya!
Yeah neighbour!
Way to go, neighbor!
Times are tough. I blame the 1%!
Well done, neighbor! I hope this is the same guy who posted in the forum about break-ins and I hope life is much better with these thieves put away! Wish all neighbors were like that!
Excellent work. It’s a shame they likely won’t do much hard time, but at least they were caught and processed for once.
” It’s a shame they likely won’t do much hard time”
They call that ‘social justice’.
Criminals are so stupid. They put in all that time, work and effort into such risky projects with very little reward.
Block Watcher, people who do this kind of stuff are often drug addicts, with little to no rational or morale barometer. The “little reward” is a quick fix to fuel their addictions. It doesn’t make sense to you, because you are probably not a drug addict and criminal. But you are right about one thing: they are stupid. Whether you feel compassion towards them or not, is entirely your right to decide. But regardless of where one stands on such issues, we can all agree: it’s a terrible annoyance in life, and it would be preferable, were it to stop.
Those dang methheads!
