2 burglary suspects captured

On 6/2/11, just shortly before 1:00 p.m., the victim was upstairs inside his own home, in the 1700 block of 16 Av. As he came down the stairs he saw that someone had opened his front door. He immediately stepped out and saw the suspects holding his I-Phone which he had left inside the residence on a counter. He confronted the suspects and they returned his phone, as he was doing this,  his wallet (which was on the counter also) dropped to the ground. The suspects ran off and the victim called 911.

Officers quickly responded to the area as another caller reported seeing two subjects run through their backyard. Officers spotted subjects matching the suspect’s description near Cal Anderson Pk.  The subjects were detained and the victim positively identifed them. 

One of the suspects also had an outstanding warrant for Violation of Uniform Firearms Act. The 17-year-old was booked into Youth Service Center for Investigation of Burglary and the warrant.

The second suspect, a 23-year-old man was booked into King County Jail for Investigation of Burglary.    

Burglary Detectives were notified and they responded to interview the suspects.
