We want to pass along a couple of crime related stories that happened in Queen Anne the past few days. A homeowner in the 500 block of W. Prospect was sitting in her den this past Saturday (8/7) when she heard something hitting her window. She looked out and saw the neighbor boys standing at their bedroom window, holding what appeared to be a pistol. Although the victim’s window was cracked, nothing penetrated the glass.
Officers confronted the boys’ father who didn’t realize what was happening upstairs. He went upstairs and got the boys, along with a daisy pellet gun. The father offered to pay for the damages to his neighbor’s property. Officers say the boys are well known for causing problems in the neighborhood, and one of them is a suspect in a previous property damage case. Police recommended charges of property destruction.
Meanwhile, a home in the 400 block of Newton Street was burglarized on Monday (8/9). The burglar got in by kicking out a basement window. Some of the stolen items include 2 laptops, 3 iPod’s, 6 playstation games, jewelry, and cash.
