Redmond Police believe they have put a stop to a months-long crime spree that spanned much of Western Washington.
Joshua Clark, 31, and Kerry Ball, 36, were arrested in Bothell.
Police were preparing to arrest Ball and didn’t know her alleged partner-in-crime would be with her. Clark took off running, but a K-9 unit tracked him down.
Many of the accused couple’s crimes revolved around car break-ins at movie theaters and shopping malls.
The couple would allegedly get the address off the car’s registration in the glove compartment and would burglarize the home knowing that the residents wouldn’t be home.
So far, they have been linked to at least 60 crimes including 27 residential burglaries and eight stolen cars. Jim Bove with Redmond PD says the number of crimes has grown since victims were contacted last week.
Police found many stolen items in their possession, from a vacuum and sink to electronics and tools. When police made the arrest, Ball and Clark were sitting in a stolen car.
