As deputies arrived, they determined an unoccupied vehicle was used to breach the store. A second occupied vehicle, a Kia Optima, fled the scene. SCSO deputies later determined that the Kia Optima was stolen. Mill Creek Police and SCSO initiated a pursuit of the fleeing suspects.
Spike strips were successfully deployed near the 17800 block of SR 9, and the suspect’s vehicle continued to drive for a short time before it crashed into a ditch near the 18000 block of SR 9.
Six suspects who were wearing masks, gloves, and hooded jackets fled from the vehicle on foot. A K-9 unit with the King County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene for assistance. The K-9 followed the suspects eastbound toward a large property where one 17-year-old male suspect was taken into custody. The suspect was later transported to Swedish Hospital for evaluation.
The juvenile suspect is expected to be charged with obstruction, first-degree malicious mischief, second-degree taking a motor vehicle without permission, and second-degree burglary.
The other five suspects remain at large. SCSO is urging anyone with information or who can identify them to call the department’s tip line at (425) 388-3845.
