Trio Caught Burglarizing Woodinville Business, Get Chased By Police

WOODINVILLE, WA - Three thieves were interrupted while burglarizing a Woodinville business early in the morning last Friday. The men had backed a pickup truck up to the rear of the business, where they had broken a hole through the glass and metal doors. A sergeant with King County was driving through the area and spotted the burglary in progress.

When the suspects noticed the police car, two got in the pickup truck and sped away; the third one took off on foot. The King County sergeant followed the truck and tried to get it to stop, but the men did not pull over when he activated his lights and sirens, according to police.

The sergeant was eventually joined by a Woodinville deputy, who stopped the truck using a PIT (pursuit immobilization technique) maneuver. The two men were arrested, and police discovered the truck had been stolen in Everett.

The third man who escaped on foot was not located, according to police.
