The
Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and the Everett Police Department are both
looking for a person of interest in connection with a series of burglaries at
mobile home parks that have retired people 55 years and older.
The
person that the law enforcement agencies are looking for is described as a
person of interest, not a suspect. He is described as about 6 feet tall, about
180lbs. He was last seen in the 16800 block of Highway 99 in Lynnwood at 3am on
Thursday, October 4, 2012 wearing a black or dark blue hoodie with orange
writing and grey sweats.
If
you know who this person is and where to find him place call the Sheriff’s
Office Tip Line at (425) 388-3845.
At
least 25 burglaries have been reported in Carriage Club Estates, Lynnwood
Heights, Wandering Creek, Lago de Plata Villa and Mariner Village mobile home
parks. The burglar took jewelry, cash and electronics. Entry has been at night
through a window, often unscrewing porch lights or interior lamp bulbs.
According
to The Herald, many people were home during the burglaries. The burglar tended
to be quiet and tidy.
Police
have been working with residents in the mobile home parks and Neighborhood
Watch groups.
Note:
Most residential burglaries occur during the day when fewer people are around
in the neighborhood. This burglar must figure that retired people are around
during the day, and that entering their homes at night when most people are
asleep is not as risky as entering during daylight.
