Burglars in Bellevue stole over $40,000 in materials from Quilt World Northwest Tuesday morning.
“It kind of appears they were going after one thing,” explained Carla Iafrate with Bellevue Police.
It wasn’t rolls of fabric.
“The silver jewelry, or the gold-plated jewelry which is all on one table in the middle of the store,” Iafrate described.
No other merchandise in the store was disturbed, when the three suspects broke in around 6:15 a.m.
Police believe the burglars likely used a rock to smash a front window to get inside the store. Witnesses said they saw the three suspects flee in a silver four-door Mitsubishi with a rear spoiler.
