The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is asking for the public’s help to identify three suspects and a vehicle involved in a series of commercial burglaries in Chelan.

They say seven local businesses were targeted between the evening of Friday, Oct. 9 and the early morning of Saturday, Oct. 10.

Surveillance footage captured a suspect inside and around several of the targeted businesses along E Woodin Avenue. Deputies believe the individuals entered and exited a staging area near the intersection of Nixon Street and N Columbia Street.



CCSO is asking anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area during that timeframe to come forward.

Investigators are also seeking surveillance, dash camera, or other video footage, as well as information regarding a vehicle potentially linked to the burglaries.

Anyone with information or relevant video footage is asked to contact the CCSO through the Rivercom non-emergency line at (509) 663-9911.
