More On Those Roosevelt/Ravenna Break-Ins We Mentioned Last Week
SPD sent out a note to a few neighbors in North Seattle last week with details on some of the recent break-ins in the Ravenna/Roosevelt/Maple Leaf neighborhoods, which police have attributed to a group of young burglars.
Police still don't have any suspects, but have rolled out emphasis patrols to try to catch the kids, who, we're told, are likely responsible for at least twenty burglaries in October—if not more.
