The King County Sheriff’s Office
(KCSO) and Sammamish Police Department are looking for burglary victims of
burglaries that occurred from January 2012 to July 2013 from Mill Creek,
Washington to Tigard, Oregon. KCSO has posted the following on its Facebook
page:
Were you the victim of a burglary
between January 2012 and July 2013? If
you were and you live somewhere between Mill Creek, Washington and Tigard,
Oregon we may have property that was stolen from your burglary.
Detectives from the Sammamish Police
Department and the King County Sheriff’s Office are trying to find the owners
of stolen property that was recovered last July after the arrest of a couple
who admitted to committing dozens of burglaries between Tigard, Oregon and Mill
Creek, Washington.
Krystal Sweetman, 27 of Puyallup
and Steven Tipton, 27 of Tacoma were arrested last July after an investigation
that revealed the couple had committed over 80 residential burglaries between
January 2012 and July 2013. The couple sold many of the stolen items at area
coin shops netting over $346,000 in the 18 month crime spree.
Detectives also discovered that the
pair had a storage unit that was packed with property taken from the
burglaries. Many of the stolen items from the storage unit have not been claimed
and detectives are hoping to reunite victims with their property.
In January, Sweetman pled guilty to
multiple charges and was sentenced to 36 months in prison and 36 months in
community custody. Tipton is expected to
plead later this month.
Detectives have photographed the
unclaimed property and have provided a link to photos for the public to
view. Detectives are asking anyone who
was the victim of a burglary between January, 2012 and July, 2013 to look at
the photos to see if any of the property belongs to you.
If you have questions please call
804-885-KCSO (5276) do NOT call other
police department numbers. If you see
property that you believe belongs to you follow the instructions on the
link. You will be asked to provide the
case number of your burglary and will need to provide some proof the item is
yours.
If you have trouble accessing the
site please try at another time. We
expect the site to be inundated with viewers and access may be limited during
the initial release of information.
