Posting with SPD’s guidance in case the community can help connect dots. My girlfriend’s multi-unit building in Capitol Hill was burglarized in the early morning hours of 12/31. Two individuals spent several days beforehand casing the building in an older black BMW 7-series and a white Ford E-series van. They returned multiple times over several days and ultimately climbed up to the patio and removed a safe and other valuables. A few days later (1/3), our neighbor/property manager had a verbal encounter with the suspects in the same BMW. They were trespassing in one of the building’s parking spots and appeared to be watching another building across the street. The neighbor also reported that they were wearing ski masks in broad daylight during right before the encounter in their BMW. He recorded the encounter, and SPD has that footage. SPD asked us to share the vehicle/suspect images publicly because there may be a pattern in Capitol Hill or nearby neighborhoods, and someone may recognize the vehicles, clothing, or behavior, or may have had a similar incident around the same timeframe. ASK: If you’ve seen: • these vehicles parked for extended periods • similar casing / scouting behavior • prowlers around multi-unit buildings with glass facing the street • or had a similar break-in recently please comment or DM. We’re also looking for buildings with exterior cameras facing alleys, side streets, or parking spaces. Goal is to connect cases if these same people have hit elsewhere. What we have: • clear footage of the BMW and van • multi-day timeline of visits/casing before the break-in • behavior consistent with scouting multi-unit buildings • SPD case numbers 26-471 and 26-2492 If you prefer to contact SPD directly, I can share the detective’s info via DM. submitted by /u/flacid_fridge |
