Shoplifters stopped in Bellevue, handgun recovered
Bellevue Police say officers recovered a loaded handgun with extra ammunition after arresting two shoplifting suspects Wednesday morning.
BPD says the 35-year-old male and 34-year-old female are accused of stealing approximately $500 worth of merchandise from an O’Reilly’s Auto Parts store in Factoria, then taking off in a stolen Dodge Charger.
Detectives followed the car on traffic cameras to Marshalls on 148th Ave NE, where someone flagged officers down to report the pair stealing from that store.
Officers approached the suspects as they left the store, and the woman gave up, but police say the male took off running.
Eventually, he was arrested and O’Reilly’s property was recovered and returned to the store.
Bellevue Police learned the male suspect is a convicted felon and was unlawfully in possession of a firearm. He also had someone else’s social security card.
Both are suspects in other thefts in Bonney Lake.
