Three burglars caught breaking into North Seattle home this afternoon (updated)

November 10, 2010 by 3 Comments

Potentially great news on the burglary spree front.

From an article by Jonah at Seattle Crime:

Seattle police have arrested three teens caught breaking into a North Seattle home this afternoon, and a department source says the teens are likely connected to a string of burglaries in the neighborhood.

You can read the whole article here.

We will still be holding our Crime Prevention meeting next Tuesday, however, since those three aren’t likely to be the only burglars in town.

UPDATE (4:25 pm): The Maple Leafer alerted us to an update on the burglar arrest post at Seattle Crime.

From the updated Seattle Crime North end burglars post:

We’re now hearing police arrested six suspects in total. The teens tried to run from police but were caught several blocks away from the scene.

Some details in the comments there, too. It’s a good read.

Want to know just what exactly the Roosevelt Neighborhood Association’s plan would mean for our area’s future  — and the future zoning of the Sisley properties at NE 65th Street and 15th Avenue NE?

The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association’s Land Use Committee is holding a general meeting for the community to learn about the RNA’s rezoning plan and the city’s Department of Planning and Development’s analysis of it.

The meeting will be held at Calvary Christian Assembly (6801 Roosevelt Way NE), Room 300, on Monday, November 15th, from 7-9 pm.

Your participation would be GREATLY appreciated for a few reasons:

  • This is THE meeting to attend if you would like to learn about the RNA’s neighborhood rezoning plans – It is a general community meeting designed to get us Regular Joes in the neighborhood up to speed on what we could be living next to in the future;
  • The City Council is expected to act on the RNA’s neighborhood rezoning plan in the first half of 2010, and a sizeable amount of community participation is crucial for making it happen;
  • If you (or your family, or your friends) have ever driven down NE 65th Street and wondered “What gonna be done with these boarded up shacks?!” THIS meeting should address those concerns.

For more information about this meeting, contact rna@rooseveltseattle.org.
