Police Blotter: 3 Teens Arrested in Connection To Burglary

Editor's note: This story was revised on Thursday to include additional details from Lt. Gorman.

Redmond Police have arrested three teenage burglary suspects they say could be part of a larger break-in operation and have connections to other burglaries in both Redmond and Bellevue.

“We think they may be part of a group," of more suspects, said Redmond Police Lt. Charles Gorman.

The three suspects, two girls and one boy who are all 15 and live in Bellevue, are accused of burglarizing a home in the 6800 block of 142nd Court NE late Wednesday morning. Redmond Police said they received a call at about 11:30 a.m. from a resident who had found the three suspects in his home.

The suspects subsequently fled, but Redmond officers were able to track down two of the three juveniles. Bellevue Police apprehended the third suspect a short time later.

Gorman said both Redmond and Bellevue Police are investigating whether the teens have ties to other crimes, but he declined to say when the other burglaries took place.

Neither Redmond Police nor Redmond Patch typically names juvenile crime suspects.
