Linda’s 1 of 3 — check that, 4 — area business break-ins over weekend

We told you Saturday about an early morning break-in at 10th Ave East’s Roanoke Tavern — turns out it was one of two on Saturday and three reported over the weekend around Capitol Hill. UPDATE: See below for early details on a fourth. Details are thin for the other two but we thought we’d get word out there tonight about an unusual uptick in commercial burglary activity around the Hill. Here’s what we know about the other two:

  • 700 block East Pine — Sunday, reported 10:57 AM: We’ve been told that this was a break-in at Linda’s but haven’t yet confirmed details with police and have no information about damage or if anything was stolen.
  • 2300 block 24th Ave East — Saturday, reported 10:19 AM: Fewer details still on this commercial burglary report. The location matches up with Montlake’s small 24th Ave East business strip including the Montlake Ale House.
  • 2400 block 10th Ave East — Saturday, reported 4:28 AM: A busted door and cut phone lines yielded no cash in an unsuccessful burglary attempt at the Roanoke Tavern. More here.

UPDATE 10/4/2010 3:10 PM: SPD confirmed the Linda’s location break-in for us this afternoon and said more than $1,000 in cash was taken when a thief kicked in the patio doors and managed to not set the alarm off on the way in.

The kicked-in door is also the modus operandi for the Montlake break-in though SPD says the target in that haul does not appear to be a bar or a restaurant. The current information available from SPD does not include how much if anything was stolen in the 2400 block of 24th Ave East break-in on Saturday morning.

And you can add another burglary to the list. We’re still gathering info on this one but a break-in was reported this morning at a 10th Ave business that was burglarized sometime over the weekend. We haven’t confirmed which business got hit on 10th between Pike and Union or what was taken, but SPD says the caller said she closed the shop Saturday afternoon and then got a call Monday morning from somebody telling her that the front door to her business had been forced open.

4:25 PM: The details on the 10th Ave break-in from Adam Michelson:

The break in on tenth was at “Artful Lodgings”,  a real-estate staging company. They hold a warehouse space in the same building as Atlas Clothing. I manage the building.

The thief probably acted between 7pm and 11:30 pm on Sunday night, and used a few kicks to break the door through. So far the owner said that a few bottles of wine, some tools, and some electronics were stolen, probably totaling less than what it will cost to repair the door jamb, which was really torn up. The deadbolt itself was broken!
