On 07-17-2021 at 1946 hours, residents of the International District observed a male suspect kicking the window out of a storefront entrance door. The suspect was then seen entering the business, in the 600 block of S King ST, Seattle WA, through the broken-out window. This happened in front of numerous community members. The community members called 911 to report this and within 3 minutes of the 911, patrol officers arrived. A building search was conducted but it appears the suspect escaped through an emergency exit just before officers arrived. This building houses several businesses which share a common interior hallway. No other businesses were victimized. The community response may have scared off the burglar before items could be stolen and before officers could arrive. News media was in the area and took an interest in the investigation. An on-duty LT and the Media Unit were advised due to the media attention.
