New Year’s Eve check scam results in car chase
An attempt to cash a forged check at a bank in Burien resulted in a short car chase on the evening of New Year’s Eve that ended with significant property damage and two arrests. According to the Burien Police Department, the incident started at a bank near the intersection of 1st Avenue South and Southwest 148th Street after a man fled the bank after attempting to cash a bad check. A getaway car driven by a second suspect was waiting but police were already on the scene. Police attempted to pull the suspects over as they began to flee onto Highway 518. During the chase, the suspects started to spin out, striking a number of vehicles about to take the 509 onramp. The suspects fled the vehicle on foot and hid in nearby brush until police found and arrested them. The entire incident was only a matter of minutes but the cleanup and impact on traffic trying to merge onto 509 or enter 518 lasted well into the evening,
