Crime in Shoreline - weeks ending 12-7 and 12-14-2015

Selected items from the Shoreline Police Blottter.

Crime continues in spite of the season, with package thieves getting bolder and bolder, including the woman caught on apartment surveillance video carrying a mail bag - full of stolen mail - while she tries to break into buildings and picks up packages on porches.

Lots of shoplifters, and package thieves, including one who got a wedding gift from victim's porch.

The taggers are back, spraypainting on city utility boxes and targets at public parks.

Bicycles went missing, and someone is specializing in prying open locked mailboxes.
