On Jan. 22 at 1 p.m. deputies with KCSO served a search warrant on a residence located 12400 block of 12 Ave. S. that has been a source of numerous crimes and complaints over the last few months.

Detectives have been watching the home closely after recovering seven stolen vehicles from the property over the last two months. A warrant was granted to detectives following the arrest of two felons, male and female, for Violation of the Uniform Firearm Act on Jan.21who are known to reside at the house.

Squatters had taken over the home which is bank owned and multiple arrests were made during the raid after stolen mail, credit cards and checks were recovered. Methamphetamines and guns were also recovered by detectives. Those arrested are facing charges of fraud and possession of stolen property.

While searching through a vehicle connected to the address officers recovered an illegally altered rifle.

The home has been boarded up again with signs deeming it to be uninhabitable.
The investigation was a joint effort between the Burien Police, U.S. Postal Inspectors, Department of Corrections and Burien Code Enforcement.
