According to SPD, items stolen from homes on Queen Anne were among those found in a Burien house. SPD’s Major Crimes Task Force has been investigating a burglary ring that hit homes in Queen Anne, Magnolia, and North Seattle, netting the burglars “hundreds of items”. The investigation led SPD to Burien. A warrant was served this morning and two suspects were arrested.
If you were burglarized by this crime ring, some of your items might find their way home (if you reported the crime – the post below states that many of the items may be from un-reported burglaries).
Here’s the developing story from SPD’s Blotter:

A cello taken in a Seattle break-in was just one of the hundreds of suspected stolen items found by Seattle police Thursday morning inside a Burien home.
SPD’s Major Crimes Task Force has been on the trail of a ring of burglars, suspected of targeting homes in North Seattle, Queen Anne and Magnolia. This morning, around 7 AM, SPD SWAT served a warrant at the home in the 12000 block of 1st Avenue S., where police found “a ton of stolen stuff,” according to Major Crimes Task Force Captain Eric Sano.
Police arrested two people inside the home for warrants, and are now investigating and sorting through evidence. Police believe some items found inside the homes may have been taken in unreported break-ins.
We’ll have more updates as the case develops.
Reminder: report all crimes to SPD, and call 911 if you see suspicious behavior or a crime in progress.
