Over the past few weeks there has been concern about teens hanging out at the shopping center with the Safeway at 134th Pl SE and Puget Park Dr SE. The teens vandalize property; make a mess in parts of the shopping center, etc. Recently, at least one car was broken into.
Comment: The Sheriff’s Office is working with shopping center vendors and residents of the surrounding neighborhoods to try to resolve this situation. Retailers, neighborhood residents and the Sheriff’s Office need to communication together to develop creative solutions and effective action.
Note: Summer is a time of year when crimes seem to be on the increase. Not all teens are out to cause trouble. But, there will be those who hang out overnight unsupervised, and will do stuff that vandalizes the community and will take the opportunity to steal what is easy. Many people park their cars outside of their homes. Also, they may go to the store late at night. When you park your car, be sure not to keep anything in view, cash, wallet, cell phone, packages, etc. Seeing something in your car will give a potential thief the opportunity to steal.
