Beer thief
A Burien grocery store employee called police to report a shoplifting incident. The employee witnessed a male take a grocery cart to the beer cooler and load a case of beer into the cart. He pushed the cart to the front of the store near the self check-out and pretended to ring up the beer. Instead, he grabbed the beer and ran out the front door. Employees were not able to catch up with the man before he got into his car and drove off. The beer thief has not been identified yet.

Pocket dialer
Police responded to a 911 call in the 600 block of S.W. 122nd street. The caller was on a cell phone and accidentally dialed 911. When no one responded on the line, the dispatcher became concerned.
