Three men arrested for ‘obituary burglaries’

Three men have been arrested in the Snohomish County “obituary burglaries.”

“It’s still believed that they were looking at obituaries that were listed and times for specific funeral and memorial services, then targeting the homes of families who would be at those services,” said Shari Ireton with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

According to Ireton, detectives found stolen items in all three men’s homes, as well as meth and marijuana in one.

All three were booked on burglary charges.
