Late last night, there were two attempted burglaries in Wallingford. Police were quickly on the scene, and the suspect has been arrested.
From SPD:
On February 24th, at approximately 11:50 pm, North Precinct officers responded to a report of an attempted burglary in the 1400 Block of North 50th Street. The suspect attempted to gain entry to a residence by breaking out a glass window at the front of the house. The suspect then fled on foot prior to officers arriving.
While officers were conducting an area check, another call came into 911 of the same suspect attempting to break down the front door of a residence in the 1800 Block of North 51st Street. The occupants were home at the time. Officers quickly arrived at that location, found the suspect, and took him into custody.
Great job, SPD! Glad to hear about this.
Why are the Seattle neighborhoods so prone to residential burglaries? Burglary seems to be a persistent problem in all surrounding neighborhoods and should be addressed.
I looked up our public records for the king county inmate registry around the time of the incident. This is possibly our prowler:
