Burglars equipped with kayaks, wetsuits, rob $20K from Bellevue home

Burglars equipped with kayaks and wetsuits, broke into a home in Bellevue along Lake Washington last Thursday, according to the Clyde Hill Police Department.

At approximately 3:38 a.m. May 25, the burglars forced entry into the back glass door of a home in the 4600 block of 95th Avenue Northeast.

The home was occupied at the time, according to police, as the burglars stole approximately $20,000 in cash from a safe and escaped on kayaks, paddling toward Kirkland.

Police also believe the suspects might have attempted to burglarize two other homes that same morning.

Eastside 7-Eleven stores hit by robberies

Multiple 7-Eleven stores on the Eastside — located in Bothell, Bellevue, and Redmond — were robbed by gunpoint early Tuesday morning. Each robbery occurred within a few hours of each other. Reports of other convenience stores in the area also being robbed popped up as well, including one in Lake Forest Park, where the clerk of a Chevron convenience store stated the employee behind the counter was shaken up after he was robbed at gunpoint.

“We’re working with detectives from both agencies to see if our suspects match the same suspect description,” Meeghan Black with Bellevue Police told KIRO Newsradio.

Bellevue Police is currently investigating whether these robberies are connected, but as of this reporting, that answer is unclear.

No injuries are reported from Lake Forest Park.
