The Seattle Police Department (SPD) and Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound are asking the public for help identifying two men who broke into the Watermark Tower in downtown Seattle.

The burglary occurred early in the morning of March 9 and was caught on surveillance video as the two men moved through the mixed-use residential-commercial tower. They can be seen breaking through the front door of the building located at 1109 1st Avenue in downtown Seattle.

After they break through the door, the suspects board an elevator and leave with stolen items.

“They opened up some businesses and stole a bunch of computers and even Visas and Passports of the employees,” Jim Fuda, the executive director of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound, said.

The building houses businesses and residences, and since the burglary, everyone is worried about the security of their homes, businesses, and families.

“They offered an additional $1,000 reward, so we have close to $2,000 reward coming for anybody who can ID these people, and we get an arrest and charges,” Fuda said.

You can see the suspects pictured above. If you can tell police who they are, call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS. Tips can be anonymous. The SPD case number is 26-904429.
