Two of our Blue Night Shift patrol officers were driving to an unrelated call on Meridian St., and noted shattered glass in the front door of CHS Northwest True Value store. Just as they were stopping to investigate, the burglar popped out through the opening from the shattered glass, with his stolen loot in hand.
They quickly stopped the car and contacted the swiftly departing burglar. He was told to get on the ground, which he did, dropping the candy and Red Bull he stole in front of him. Rather than listening to the officers to keep his hands out to his sides, he continued to eat the stolen evidence. Other officers arrived and he was safely taken into custody.
The investigation showed he threw a stone tile through the glass door to gain entry into the store. He was booked for burglary, malicious mischief, and theft.
It is not often we are able to be there the exact moment a burglar runs out carrying their stolen goods, but on this night the officers' timing was impeccable!

🚨 Community Alert for a missing person 🚨
BPD is requesting community assistance in finding Amber Washington. She was last seen yesterday at 5 p.m. when she left her home in her car, a Subaru Legacy, Washington plate CRL5071, on an errand. Her family is very concerned.
Amber is 50 years of age, white with brown/blonde shorter hair. She is 5’5”-5’6” last seen wearing black jeans, a brown and white north face jacket, Nike custom Seattle Seahawks shoes. She has no known health issues and has a cell phone, which she is not answering.
If you see Amber or her car, call 9-1-1 immediately.
BPD Traffic Investigators are seeking public assistance locating a hit-and-run vehicle from a vehicle/pedestrian collision at approximately 6:59 a.m. this morning (March 11) on Cottonwood Ave. at W. Maplewood Ave.
The truck is a dark color with oversized tires (smaller rims, larger tires) and it has a brush guard on the front. The headlights were described as yellow led type with the right one possibly burned out. We do not have a make or model for the truck, nor do we have a specific description of the driver.
The driver of the truck was coming east on Cottonwood Ave, did not stop at the posted stop sign and hit the pedestrian and dog in the middle of the crosswalk. The driver stopped briefly at Shuksan Meadows Park and then fled north on W. Maplewood Ave.
We are seeking any information from people who were in the area at the time, driving through with dash cams on, or who have security cams at their house with a view of the intersection of Cottonwood Ave and W. Maplewood Ave.
The pedestrian and the dog who were struck, both sustained injuries requiring medical intervention.
If you have any information, are a witness, or have video from your car or home, please contact us in one of the following ways:
