Fourteen cars were left with shattered windows at an apartment complex near Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in Parkland early Saturday morning, and many of the victims are students.
According to KIRO Newsradio, the incident was all caught on camera. In the video, a white sedan can be seen pulling into Garfield Station Apartments at approximately 3 a.m. Four people got out, two acting as lookouts, while the others smashed windows and rifled through cars.
“They are causing a significant amount of damage to people’s vehicles, and it needs to stop,” Pierce County Deputy Carly Cappetto said. “If you think about it, 14 vehicles times, let’s say each window was $200, and that’s probably on the low scale, that’s a lot of money.”
If you recognize the suspects or the vehicle, call 911.
