Thief’s Triple Hitter

A thief pushed his way through three connected offices being used for storage on Mon., March 14 in the 9400 block of Delridge—cutting through drywall and breaking windows along the way.

After breaking an exterior padlock on the first space around 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., the suspect stole a circular saw, cutting into the adjoining unit, then broke through the drywall to reach a third room, which was full of speakers.

The front door was never opened but the victim believes speakers were pushed through the hole in the drywall, in between wooden studs in the wall. Speakers that were too wide to fit were left behind and covered with drywall dust, making it difficult to lift fingerprints from the scene of the crime.

A black man in his 20s was seen carrying speakers out to a dark red Ford sedan with Washington plates then speeding off. Police are reviewing security footage for more information.

Shattered Glass on California Ave.

Officers responded to a call from a medical business located on the 4700 block of California Ave. on Fri., March 11.

The glass door had been shattered with a brick. Suspects broke through security glass guarding the pharmacy then climbed over the counter to the area where drugs are stored.

Three male suspects were seen leaving the business shorty before police arrived. They were driving a cream-colored, four-door sedan. A fourth suspect was waiting in the car.

Officers plan to access security footage from the time of the crime to gain further details.
