Officers arrested a man in Queen Anne for burglary after he was tracked back to his car Monday morning.
A woman frantically called 911 at 1:45 AM Monday when she heard items being moved around in her home–she lives alone. The woman hid in her bedroom and called 911. Officers arrived minutes later and checked the home, but the burglar had already left.
A Seattle Pacific University security guard approached an officer and let them know they had seen a man leaving the area just before officers arrived at the home, pointing them towards a car parked in a near-by lot. K-9 Officer Wong and his partner Zeva were searching the area and tracked from the home to the same car. Officers approached the car and arrested a 44-year-old man who was sitting inside.
Officers booked the suspect into King County Jail for investigation of burglary. Burglary detectives are now seeking a warrant to search the suspect’s vehicle and recover any stolen property that may be inside.
