The caller / homeowner, who was monitoring live surveillance footage, observed an unknown individual on his property and promptly contacted 911.
When Edmonds officers arrived, they observed a white BMW parked in the victim’s driveway. The suspect/s, who were in the process of actively burglarizing the residence, immediately fled in the vehicle.
In the process of attempting to escape while eluding officers, the suspect/driver crashed into a responding police vehicle.
The suspect vehicle continued for several more blocks before colliding with another responding patrol vehicle and consequently becoming disabled in the 24200 block of 114th Street SW.
Two suspects then fled from that collision scene on foot. One suspect forcibly entered a nearby residence but was subdued and arrested after a struggle with the homeowner.

ReplyDeleteNow why should this person ever see the outside of a jail cell for the next 30 years?
ReplyDeleteThey should not, it is called consequences.
DeletePeople get 30 years for murder.
DeleteHe'll be out in a blink of an eye with minimal if any bail, to keep causing mayhem. When will we say that enough is enough?
