Building rammed in another crash and grab
Information from the Seattle Police Department
#2022-329753/Southwest Precinct/First Watch:
On 12-10-2022 at 4:45am, a call originally came in regarding a commercial alarm call involving multiple sensor trips.
The call was then updated by witnesses that a vehicle was seen backing up and repeatedly ramming the store front.
Two suspects exited the vehicle and entered the business and exited shortly after. The vehicle fled prior to officers’ arrival. An officer observed a vehicle matching the description heading southbound from the scene.
The vehicle had no plates and took off at a high rate of speed. It appeared that only the register area and office of the business were targeted, as other merchandise throughout the business was not disturbed and money was the only thing taken.
There was a burglary at this location in October.
