Five men have been charged in connection to a recent series of burglaries in western Washington that appeared to target the Asian American community. The suspects, who were arrested late last month, were charged on Wednesday with residential burglary and possession of stolen property after they allegedly targeted Asian American homes across Kirkland, King and Snohomish counties.
According to the charging documents, the suspects have “no significant ties” to the area and traveled to Washington with the purpose of committing the crimes. Members of the Asian American communities began to reach out to law enforcement in February about residential burglaries, the news release said. Later that month, surveillance cameras and an eyewitness were able to capture images of three suspects in addition to the license plate of a rental vehicle associated with a burglary.
