Redmond police arrested two 16-year-old suspects on Tuesday night for the theft of jewelry from a store at Redmond Town Center. Another suspect, an 18-year-old, was processed for an existing warrant. All suspects are from Seattle.

According to Redmond Police Department (RPD) public information officer Becky Range, the store owner called police at 7:20 p.m. and reported that seven juveniles — six males and one female — entered her store, pried the glass off cases in front of staff members and stole several gold necklaces valued at $10,000.

“Officers responded and quickly established a perimeter in the area. As suspects fled on foot, officers closely communicated with each other and were able to apprehend three suspects near the parking lot of World Market at 7214 170th Ave. N.E.,” Range said.

Even though the three suspects matched the descriptions provided, RPD’s K9 officer was asked to assist. He quickly deployed with his partner K9 Remy and performed a confirmation track of the suspects. Starting from the jewelry store, Remy completed a continuous track, ending up at the patrol car where the suspects were located in the back seat.

“He put his paws on the door, began trying to jump in the car and barked in frustration when officers did not allow him into the vehicle,” Range said.

Almost $3,000 of stolen jewelry was immediately returned to the store owner.
