Maple Leaf resident Phil Borgnes sent us these photos from All the Best Pet Care, 8050 Lake City Way N.E., which he said is closed for the time being after being burglarized sometime between 4 and 7 a.m. today.
He said Qwest workers are seen above repairing phone and Internet at the Maple Leaf company.
We’ll try to get more information to you as we learn more. The police report gives the incident time as 7:08 a.m.
Since our last crime roundup the Maple Leaf Pharmacy was robbed again – and the robber was caught blocks away minutes later.
Another robbery occurred on Friday afternoon, Feb. 18, at a service station at 10800 Roosevelt Way Northeast. According to the full report, which just became available, a suspect who appeared drunk entered the store, took a piece of pizza and a hamburger out of the warmer and ate them, then tried to walk out with an 18-pack of beer and a bottle of wine. When the store worker went after him, the suspect punched the worker in the face at Eighth Avenue Northeast and Northeast Northgate Way.
A third robbery occurred Sunday afternoon, Feb. 13, at a store in the 400 block of Northeast Northgate Way. Police say a store security worker was punched in the face when he stopped a shoplifter. The security guard won, police made an arrest, and two watches worth more than $250 each were recovered, according to the police report.
