LARCENY: Three vehicles were broken into, one thought to have been locked, on the 21200 block of Northeast 13th Court a couple days prior to the report. The owners found the contents of all three glove boxes strewn about.

NOT SAFE UNDER THE SEAT: After breaking the front passenger window of a vehicle parked in the Sammamish Landing Park located at 4607 East Lake Sammamish Parkway N.E., an unknown suspect stole a Redmond woman’s purse she had hidden under the passenger seat. The value of the purse and approximate damage totals to $340.
AN ‘E’ IS ALL THE DIFFERENCE: Police detained a 40-year-old Sammamish man off of 228th Avenue Southeast on suspicion that he had a $10,000 bail set out of Mukilteo, Washington, for driving while under the influence. The detained man insisted the officer had made a mistake, as the detainee had previously used his brother’s name when questioned by police. His brother’s first name, which was logged into the police’s system as an alternative for the man, closely matched the name of the wanted man; it was just missing an “e.” Once the officer requested a photo and realized he had the wrong man, the officer released him.
