Just after 12 p.m. Wednesday, officers were dispatched to a Costco in Tukwila after receiving a report of several individuals loading up thousands of dollars of generators in shopping carts while walking between fire exits looking for an exit.
Police said the suspects exited without taking any merchandise and got into a vehicle that was recently reported as stolen. When an officer tried stopping them, the vehicle immediately hit a retaining wall nearby on S 180th Street and then stopped in the middle of the street.
The driver, a teenage boy who was also recently reported as missing, ran away and was chased by officers. He was later caught and taken into custody.
The remains of a dog were located in the 1200 block of Andover Park E, and had reportedly been struck by a vehicle during the incident.
A bearded dragon was inside the suspected vehicle and turned over to animal control.

CyberTip leads Auburn PD to arrest suspect on child pornography charges
On Jan. 23, Auburn Police Detectives (APD) were provided a CyberTip from Seattle PD. According to detectives, the CyberTip included attached files of child sexual abuse imagery sent by a suspect and several messages sent before and after the contraband for context.
Police said the exchange was made using social media. The CyberTip also included the text for some contextual messages: “send more photos” and “do you have little girl videos.”
After conducting an IP address search, APD geo-located the suspect near the city limits of Auburn. Eventually, APD was able to locate a cell phone number and identify the suspect.
A search warrant soon followed, and the suspect was arrested Sept. 1 on multiple counts of child pornography.
