A man who police believe is responsible for several burglaries in the north precinct has been arrested. According to the SPD Blotter, at 4:44 a.m. yesterday, officers responded to a 911 call of a burglary in progress at a business in the 8300 block of 15th. They arrived on scene and the suspect was still inside. The 21-year-old man tried to run past officers and after a short foot pursuit, he was caught. The suspect confessed to this burglary and several others. He was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Burglary. (Thanks for the link Andrius!)
Burglary suspect arrested after short foot pursuit
The key to the bust: “A citizen called to report that they saw a male break the window and enter the store.”
Great job, Citizen!
Was the perp looking to steal sushi or pet supplies? Maybe he can't get enough from the hundreds of those stores Ballard already has.
From the blotter: “The suspect confessed to the burglary and also confessed to several other burglaries. … it appears that this suspect may be responsible for a number of burglaries that have occurred in the North Precinct. “
Hopefully they can actually put him away for a while with a confession to multiple burglaries, or is he going to be back out on the street with a warning from pre trial intervention?
Thank you to the citizen, and the SPD.
Hopefully, he'll change his day job…

I know I probably shouldn't go here, but Its interesting to see that is a 21 year old, NOT a homeless person like everyone believes is causing all the crime. Now I'm not saying the bums haven't done anything, just that they did catch someone who admitted to several other burglaries, maybe some of the ones we've been so quick to pointing our finger at the bums for. I'd be interested to hear what other stores he has gotten to. Anyone know?
