![Sneaker store owners believe there is a brazen and armed serial sneaker thief targeting businesses, including inside malls from Lynnwood to Tukwila. Police are investigating whether the crimes could be connected, according to Lynnwood officers. "He had used a weapon, a gun, to shoot his way into the mall and then shoot through our front doors," Sneak City Co-Owner Anastasia Hall told KOMO News about the early morning break-in from Jan. 17 inside Lynnwood's Alderwood Mall. She said the losses are devastating between the shattered glass door and the stolen high-end merchandise. "It was only three pairs [of shoes], but it was almost $20,000," Hall explained. "Insurance-wise, it’s just not worth it for us to lose our coverage to claim this." About 30 miles south on I-5 to Tukwila's Westfield Southcenter Mall, Lee Smith reports someone stole a $1,000 jacket from his Urbanity Clothing. 🔗 in bio for the full story. #komo #komo4 #komonews #komo4news #seattle #washington #lynnwood #tukwila #sneaker #sneakers #sneakerhead #shoes #mall #breakin #robbed #robbery #mallcop #highend #merchandise #store #retailers #kicks #4u #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #foryourpage](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdz59t6y8jvnrr.cloudfront.net%2Fvideo%2F7465098899817106730.jpg&w=1080&q=75)

A judge dismissed two misdemeanor cases against a woman who was accused of breaching a TSA checkpoint at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and boarding a flight to Hawaii without a ticket last month. According to filings in the SeaTac municipal court, the woman is not competent to stand trial and did not understand the nature of the court proceedings against her. This week, Port of Seattle police released body-camera videos of the woman’s arrest in response to a records request by KOMO News. Her first arrest happened on Christmas Eve after a flight crew on a Delta Airlines flight to Honolulu noticed the woman did not have an assigned seat as the plane was taxiing to the runway. The plane returned to the gate, and the woman walked off the airplane and then went to a bathroom. A police report notes a Delta employee followed the woman until an officer caught up to her in the bathroom. 🔗 in bio for the full story. #komo #komo4 #komonews #komo4news #seattle #washington #tsa #airport #seatac #stowaway #airplane #security #airportsecurity #faa #hawaii #delta #flight #4u #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #foryourpage

And actually, I've curtailed some of my baking because of that." Saoirse Graves, who works at Costco, noted the price hike, saying, "I wanna say like $3.97, or something like that, for 18.

A man who handed over nearly half a million dollars to scammers posing as a home repair crew is sharing his story in hopes of preventing other people from being victimized by similar tactics. David, who asked to only use his first name, was one of four victims in the recent case against brother Patrick and Matthew McDonagh, who pleaded guilty last month to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and received 18-month prison sentences. "They told me they had seen a hole in my roof and it needed to be repaired," said David. "I said ‘that can’t be, the roofing is roughly two years old'. They did exactly what they’re good at and that’s convincing you something needs to be done and they are going to do it, whether I want it or not.” Over the course of several weeks, David gave the McDonagh brothers $435,000 in checks and a wire transfer. 🔗 in bio for the full story. #komo #komo4 #komonews #komo4news #seattle #washington #scam #scamalert #homerepair #DIY #senior
