Fiend breaks while residents on holiday vacation

On Dec. 6 Seattle police officers responded to a burglary at a residence located on the 8300 block of 29th Avenue Northwest. A house sitter told police that when he came to check on the house he noticed that the glass insert in the front door had been blasted through. Police believe that was the point of entry because the deadbolt on the door was still locked. Police were able to contact the owner of the home. The home was in disarray and since the owner was out of town they have no idea what the suspect took. They dusted for fingerprints but none were recovered.

Damage is estimated to be $4,015.00
