Not quite in Edmonds… but…. my neighbors told me that there was a rash of theft at the Mountlake Terrace pool complex last weekend. Someone went through the lockers stealing keys, wallets, and phones, then went to the parking lot and used the keys to steal things from the vehicles! All of a sudden, paying 25 cents for the privilege to use a locker sounds like a good deal.
anyone know what all the sirens were about in Edmonds south of Meadowdale Monday night the 13th around 9PM?
Steve – I believe those may have been related to a car thief that was being chased in the Edmonds/Lynnwood area in that time. I happened to be looking at the police reports this morning, and the time frame and general location would be about right.
