At 4 a.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a burglary alarm at a business in the 8300 block of 15th Northwest. One saw a suspect inside the store and alerted other officers that the man was headed their way through an emergency exit and was carrying a black trash bag. Upon exiting, the suspect threw the bag to the ground and ran west on 15th for about a block before giving up, gasping and retching. He had injured himself breaking through a window, and he carried several pocket knives, a screwdriver and three wallets—as well as loot valued at around $7,000. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of possession of stolen property, burglary, and false reporting. During their investigation, officers discovered that the 24-year-old had provided them with his brother's identification rather than his own. Startled that he'd been caught, he asked how officers knew of his ruse. “It's our job to figure it out,” the officer replied.

Though Dad was away in San Francisco, he heard that his home on Northwest 95th had been the scene of a party for more than 100 Ballard High School students early Saturday. He had also heard that his laptop computer was now missing and called Seattle 911 to report the theft.

Monday around 5 p.m., a woman used the restroom at a business in the 5400 block of Leary Way Northwest. After being gone for about a minute and a half she returned to find that a fellow customer was now missing, as was her computer. Employees said that the same man had been in the store last month when a similar theft occurred.

A woman and her trainer were working out on the playfield of the old Viewlands Elementary last week, when some juvenile boys began making rude comments about female anatomy and brandished some toy weapons while making death threats. When the taunting continued, and the boys approached the woman's property, she went over to them, looked them in the eye and said, “I'm taking a good look so that I can identify you in a police lineup.” She then realized that one of the boys was a former student of hers. Though the boys want to apologize, she filed a report in case their behavior escalates in the future.

A man on active supervision with the Department of Corrections was arrested after he was caught trying car door handles in the 100 block of North 90th early Wednesday.

Late Friday, two young men were attacked by a group in Golden Gardens, possibly over a school-related disagreement. One suffered injuries from being shoved to the ground and kicked. The other suffered a serious stab wound on the forearm. Both were taken to the Swedish Ballad emergency room.
