Edmonds police investigating the Jan. 11 theft of an electric company work van and $15,000 worth of tools served a search warrant in the Sherwood neighborhood Thursday morning, arresting a 40-year-old Edmonds man.

According to a social media post, the investigation by the department’s Problem-Solving Emphasis Team led police to the Sherwood-area residence on 106h Avenue West. Police recovered over $10,000 of the stolen property, “allowing the victim to resume business operations,” the post said. The 40-year-old suspect was booked into jail, and others may be arrested or charged as the investigation continues, police said.

“Multiple community members stopped to thank officers for addressing this known problem location that’s close to Sherwood Elementary,” the post continued.

  1. Thank you to the Edmonds PD. I’m glad you had the resources to do this work and I encourage Mayor Rosen to make sure you continue to be staffed and funded during this current budget crisis. Mary

  2. We appreciate the Edmonds PD and hope that they continue to receive the funds they need to keep the peace and fight crime. Thank you. Francesca
