Baggage claim cameras film theft of over $40,000 in luggage, suspects charged
Police believe that they have identified two individuals responsible for the theft of thousands of dollars in baggage in at least two international airports. According to Port of Seattle documents, two individuals, a man and a woman were caught on camera at SeaTac International Airport stealing 18 bags in early 2014. Each theft is carried out in a similar way with one of the individuals casually approaching an activate baggage claim conveyor-belt, picking up one or more bags, and nonchalantly exiting the baggage claim area. The 18 bags that have been connected with the suspects through security footage have a combined estimated value of over $40,000. The suspects are also wanted in connection to the theft of another 13 bags from Portland International Airport valued at an estimated $18,000. An unidentified tipster helped police identify the two suspects as Kervan Reed and Silvia Brooks, both from Chicago. Reed has since been arrested in Florida for unrelated charges but police are still on the lookout for Brooks as they are unsure if she still in the Pacific Northwest. SeaTac officials report that 2014 will be an unusually high year for baggage theft as less than 300 bags are reported stolen annually from SeaTac and only about 150 from PDX. King County prosecutors have charged Reed with two counts of first-degree theft and Brooks with second-degree theft.

Police investigate early morning stabbing in North Highline
Deputies are investigating a stabbing that took place in the early morning hours of Friday, October 17, in North Highline. Police believe the stabbing took place just after 3:00 a.m. somewhere within the 10800 block of 1st Avenue Southwest. Police were called after a man knocked on the door of a home and asked the residents for help and saying that he had been stabbed. Emergency responders found the man with life-threatening injuries and rushed him to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he remains in critical condition. Police are currently asking that anyone who may have information about the stabbing come forward to help with their investigation. Though deputies have yet to identify a suspect, they do not believe that the stabbing was a random attack.
