Alki Coffee and Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream on Alki suffered yet another break-in during early morning hours of December 3. This marks the third time this year. 

The owners of West Seattle Arcade reported that they first attempted to break in to their business but failed before moving on to Alki Coffee.

The first break-in occurred in July 2025 and the second in October.

Owner Jonathan Stebbins is hoping the public can help identify the perpetrators and said “it happened this morning around 3:45/3:50am. From the camera footage this definitely looks like the same two guys that broke in back in mid July. It’s hard to tell if was the same people from the October break in. The two today used some kind of tool to pop the lock out on the front door (as you can see if the video). They drive a blue/purple 4 door hatchback with black rims. The shorter guy looks to be wearing a blue Carhartt hoodie with orange lettering down the sleeve that says Carhartt. The taller guy has a black and grey coat with a green hoodie underneath and black and blue sneakers with blue laces (possibly Nike). 

Fortunately having gone cashless after the last break-in they did not get any cash, but they did take an ipad that we used for music, etc. Not sure at this point what can be done but would love for anyone who might be able to identify these two to reach out to then Southwest Precinct (206-733-9800) with any info. Our case number is 2025-353695.”
