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.
