First, a followup on an arrest we reported last week: The 33-year-old man arrested at his High Point apartment one week ago and held for investigation of auto theft, robbery, assault and kidnapping is no longer in jail – he was released Monday night. That day was the deadline for him to be either charged or released, but the case was not referred to prosecutors. Police told WSB today that the investigation is still “active,” but that it’s too soon to say whether they will determine there is enough evidence to send the case to prosecutors for possible charges. Next – two new Crime Watch reports just in, a burglary and a sighting of two suspected car prowlers – read on:
First, the burglary, from Em:
Just got home to a burglarized house. They kicked the back door in sometime today. while we were at work between 8:00 am-8:00 PM. We live in Highland Park near the playfield on 12th [map]. The police are on their way. This also happened to us exactly 2 years ago. They took a lot of electronics & games, and who knows what else.
Second, the sighting of suspected car prowlers, from Andrew:
This AM- 2 males were spotted on SW 101st St in Arbor Heights at 7 AM looking for unlocked cars on the street. 1 Asian and 1 African American male were seen in a black Escalade. Police were called- no word on what happened.
One more note – a reminder that the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council has changed the night it will be meeting next week – Monday 4/19, 7 pm, Southwest Precinct, instead of the usual third Tuesday.
