On Monday night, April 17, in
Silver Firs near 58th Dr SE and 147th St SE, someone
attempted to break into a home by kicking in the back door, while the resident
and her 3 small children were at home. She called 911 and deputies showed up
immediately, but they could not find the person or persons that had attempted
to break in to the home.
According to the deputies, there has
been a recent rash of burglaries in the Mill Creek, Snohomish and Everett
areas. This is the 3rd burglary or attempt in Silver Firs/Gold Creek in the
past few days.
A home in Gold Creek 1 was
burglarized on Sunday afternoon, April 15. This happened in the vicinity of
65th Ave SE and 154th St SE between 1:00pm and 3:30pm. Items were stolen from
the home. Another home was burglarized in Silver Firs a couple of days before,
which was followed by a large manhunt.
On a separate note, Friday evening,
April 13, two of the locking mail box units that service 24 homes were pull off
of their mounts, in Gold Creek.
NOTE: As I have reported over the
past few months, burglaries are up in South Snohomish County, and apparently
the burglars have migrated to our area. With the longer days of spring and
summer, we can expect more activity in the near future. This might be a good
time to review our burglary prevention practices.
Take a look at this tip sheet from
the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office:
Also, if you haven’t had a chance,
it might be a good idea to do a home security self -inspection. Go to this link
for the National Sheriff’s Association’s home security checklist:
And, burglars often do their thing
when their victims are on vacation. Check out this vacation checklist for
simple and practical things you can do to prevent a burglary while you are
away:
