Copper thieves strike again. This time, it caused damage in North Seattle ’s Crown Hill neighborhood, where it’s “lights out” at the neighborhood park because of all the damage. A man who lives nearby said he caught a couple of copper thieves in the act, but didn’t get the response he wanted when he called 911.
Clark Scheff said two suspicious guys with tools along NW 85th Street caught his eye around two in the morning early last week.“I noticed them on the traffic camera from my home. I look at it every now and then to see what’s going on,” Scheff said.“This guy here was just pulling wires through and just wrapping them around his arm, at least 100 feet or so,” Scheff said. “I’m like, ‘Sso what are you going for?’ He’s like, ‘Oh, copper.'”“I get on the phone, and I guess somebody else called it in there like, ‘Oh, is it two guys? We have another call for that.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m right here, they’re doing it right now,'” Scheff said.“Only response I got was one of the dispatchers who was like, ‘Are you following him, are you following him?’ They seemed to be upset that I was maybe following – just giving them updates,” Scheff said. “It’s very frustrating. I’m sitting there actively watching it, giving them a play-by-play, and no response.” Then, late last week, Scheff noticed the nearby Baker Park was in the dark, with more boxes pried open with wires cut. “I don’t know if it’s the same crew,’ Scheff added. “I’m just afraid of when they fix it, somebody’s going to come by and yank out wires again.”A man who lives in the North Seattle’s Crown Hill neighborhood said he caught a couple of copper thieves in the act, but didn’t get the response he wanted when he called 911.One teenager died while six other juveniles were injured in a single-vehicle crash Saturday night in Bremerton, the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office confirmed.Woman allegedly shines laser at state patrol airplane, tries to fake medical emergency to avoid arrestWoman killed, another injured after shooting at Tacoma house partyWSECU Community Champion: Chrystal Ortega’s mission to feed Spokane Chrystal Ortega's tireless dedication recently earned her the WSECU Community Champions Award and a $1,000 grant to further the mission.When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive.
