Information from Seattle Police Blotter
Seattle police are investigating after thieves hatched a plan to steal hundreds of eggs and other breakfast foods from a West Seattle cafe in the early morning hours of Feb. 5.
Officers responded to the Luna Park Cafe in the 2900 block of Southwest Avalon Way at about 4:42 a.m. after someone at the business reported the rotten activity seen live on security cameras. Two men entered a refrigerated shed at the restaurant and removed boxes containing an estimated 540 eggs, worth about $387, as well as bacon, ground beef, blueberries and liquid egg products. They were then seen on video loading the items into a van before egg-celerating from the business.
In total, the items in this breakfast heist were worth about a shell-shocking $780.
An employee of the cafe arrived to the business to see the van had returned to the property with one of the suspects near the shed yet again. The man got back into the van and the suspects, like eggs, ran from the scene, likely, afraid of being scrambled.
