Denny Blaine Thief Caught Online

Posted on by

Seattle PoliceThieves recently (August 3rd) stole a car from the 100 block of Dorffel Drive East in Denny Blaine.  When they stole the car the robbers also got the contents in the car including an outboard motor.  Just 30 minutes later the car was back, but without the outboard motor.

The owner surfed the net and two days later found an outboard motor for sale on Craigslist.  The Denny Blaine resident contacted Seattle Police.  The police posed as potential buyers and met two men where an arrest was made of a 28 year old man and a second man (35 years old) was questioned bu released.

Denny Blaine Break In

Posted on by

Seattle PoliceThere was an attempted robbery recently in a Denny Blaine home over by Bush School.  The break in attempt is believed to have happened around 2 PM.  Nothing was taken.  The best guess is the robber was scared away by the activity of a plumber installing an appliance in one of the neighbor’s home.

The break in sounds familiar to other break ins in the surrounding neighborhoods – since it happened midday and the entry point was the back door.  Call 911 if you see anything suspicious – better to be safe than sorry.
