Police have arrested a suspect in a string of burglaries in North Seattle.
A 19-year-old man was arrested shortly after midnight Saturday morning, during a traffic stop.
“Once they contacted him, they realized he was also wanted in connection with several north-end occupied burglaries that had occurred,” said Seattle Police Detective Renee Witt.
The man was wanted in connection with a string of North Seattle burglaries, many of which took place at night while homeowners were asleep.
Witt said the suspect has a long juvenile record, including felony convictions.
Police are still asking area residents to lock their doors.
“We want people to continue to be vigilant by locking their homes and their doors and making sure that their properties are secure before they go to bed because we don’t know if there are other suspects out there,” explained Witt.
