Burglary suspect arrested after break-ins at three E Pike businesses

Seattle Police are investigating three possibly connected burglaries that occurred along a short stretch of E Pike early Sunday morning.

Police arrested a 57-year-old man inside E Pike and Belmont’s Kaladi Brothers Coffee where he allegedly punched out the shop’s lock and attempted to steal cash from the business. Burglary detectives will also be investigating the suspect’s connection to two other nearby burglaries earlier that morning, according to SPD. The suspect had a lock to another business in his possession at the time of his arrest in addition to an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police reports.

The first incident occurred just before 1 AM on Sunday when officers responded to a security alarm that was tripped from inside Babeland at E Pike and Boylston. Officers reported the lock to the business was missing but nothing appeared out of place. Twenty minutes later another alarm was tripped one block north at Marination Station. There officers found an overturned register and computer, according to police reports.

Just after 3 AM the security alarm at Kaladi Brothers was tripped. Responding officers noted that all three break-ins appeared to be similar in nature. The suspect was arrested for burglary and on a felony warrant for fleeing a work release program.
