SEATTLE — A real estate company is warning many businesses to change their locks after keys were stolen out of a safe, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Sometime between 5 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Feb. 11, burglars broke into a major real estate company office in northwest Seattle.
Police said the burglars cut power to the building to disable security cameras and broke into the storage room.
The burglars ignored everything in the storage room except the safe, which they were able to open using unknown tools.
Police said the burglars stole about 100 keys to other offices of the company as well as private businesses at properties the company manages.
Some of the keys were also for some “other sensitive locations,” according to the police.
The real estate company is already attempting to contact affected businesses to get locks changed.
