Theft: Overnight, 3810 Auburn Way N. Thieves took advantage of the cover of darkness to drive off with somebody’s flatbed trailer.
Trespassing: 7:57 a.m., 4100 A St. SE. A shoplifting suspect got the early morning bum’s rush and “don’t come back!” from a store.
Trespassing: 2:40 p.m., 2601 D St. SE. A woman complained that, without permission, an unknown person was lolling around in her niece’s apartment.
Vandalism: 4:44 p.m., 10300 block of Southeast 304th Place. Somebody vandalized a mailbox.
Shoplifting: 4:53 p.m., 1509 Auburn Way S. A woman with several large bags in her possession went to the liquor section of the Rite Aid on Auburn Way South, where she grabbed another sack from the sales rack into which she placed an unknown number of liquor bottles. The theft went undetected until a store employee got a look at surveillance video. Store security told police it believes the woman stole other items but the surveillance footage was unable to reveal what items those might have been. The liquor theft is based on an estimation of bottles and price. Store security said the liquor bottles were held by loss prevention tags, which should have alerted the front door alarm system, although it was possible the suspect’s personal bags were lined with a product to interfere with loss prevention measures. The loss was estimated at $130. Store video showed a slender woman in her mid 20s, wearing sunglasses, about 5 foot 6 inches tall and with long brown hair.
