- Garden shear fail in school computer lab theft attempt: Early in the morning of last Friday’s “no class” day for students, an alarm was tripped on the campus of the Meany School grounds that hosts Seattle’s alternative NOVA high school and Secondary Bilingual Orientation Center. Arriving police found that motion sensors inside the school’s computer lab were tripped around 3a. Inside the school police found a set of garden shears. They also found the security cables for the computers in the lab had been “marred” and chewed up but not cut through. Nothing was taken in the burglary attempt.
- Woman mugged of two $5 bills: This early a.m. Tuesday, October 4th incident is notable because the thieves were low enough to steal a woman’s last ten bucks at Melrose and E Olive Way and her walking companion ditched the victim just before the street robbery. The report also notes that the victim was carrying mace but was so shook up she didn’t think to use it.
- A quick response by SPD helped recover around $5,000 in flavored tobacco stolen in an early morning burglary at 12th Ave’s hookah bar last Friday morning. Officers were able to track the suspects as they made their getaway and were able to recover about 75 boxes of the tobacco — the owner of Majles told police he believed that was most of the haul. The suspects, however, escaped. The full report on the incident is below.
