Shoreline Police arrest prolific burglar

Earlier this month, Shoreline Police Department arrested a man they are calling a ‘prolific’ burglar, suspected of stealing from at least 26 houses. In some cases, the residents were home when he broke in.

The prosecutor’s office has charged him with residential burglary, trafficking stolen property and the unlawful possession of a firearm.

Detectives say this investigation is far from over, and ask anyone who thinks they may have had jewelry or other personal items stolen from a Shoreline area home in the past year-and-a-half, that they haven’t yet reported, to call Shoreline Police at: 206-296-3311.
