At approximately 9:42 p.m. last night, Tuesday, February 3, officers responded to reports of an intruder in an Interbay residence, near the 2900 block of W McGraw St. According to the SPD Blotter, witnesses described the suspect as “a white male, mid-thirties, wearing a blue baseball cap and jeans.” In the time it took the first officer to arrive, another neighbor called in reporting that a person matching the description may have attempted to burglarize their home as well. SPD officers found the suspect (a 35-year-old man) in the backyard and took him into custody, and after being positively identified by the victims, booked him into King County Jail on Investigation of Burglary.
Update: SPD’s reporting of this crime having taken place in Interbay is incorrect. In fact the 2900 block of W McGraw St. is closer to Magnolia Village. Apologies for the error.
