SEATTLE - Seattle police officers arrested 35 people in a downtown organized retail theft operation.
Throughout Wednesday, police saw people stealing and walking out of a store on 2nd Avenue with tens of thousands of dollars worth of cutlery, kitchen sets, detergent and several bottles of liquor.
Police said officers stopped the suspected thieves and recovered the items.
They were given trespassing notices and banned them from returning to the store for a year.
Police released the suspects, but one man was booked into the King County jail on a Department of Corrections warrant.
The police department said it will continue to work with businesses in the downtown core area about organized theft and to make sure customers are safe during the holiday shopping season.
Love it.....The more this happens, the worse these liberal/progressive cesspools will get for all to see.
If the police and city officials won't enforce the laws on the books, who is going to enforce the order that they stay out of those stores for a whole year?? What a freaking joke.
Just like here in LA, 2 weeks ago they arrested 14 people involved in these thefts, Garcetti had his lil press conference to show off that he gives a crap..a few hours later they were ALL released
Ooo oooh Seattle is really kwackinn down on these peaceful tires what next??? Detention??
Banned from the cookware store for a year. LOL!
I guarantee you, the thieves were not Martha Stewart.
Yep that’ll teach em........to go to another store with no cops!
Suppose to be YUTES
That pat on the wrist will show them!
That’ll show ‘em!
The only way anything happens to them is if the Clintons think they know something about the Clintons that shouldn’t be known.
There is no longer any real law and order in Seattle. Seattle should by considered as territory ruled by a kakistocracy of traitorous outlaws.

Downtown Seattle is safe - for smash and grab flash mobs.
Most other folks, not so much. Downtown Kabul is probably safer.
“They were given trespassing notices and banned them from returning to the store for a year.”
That will give the store enough time to restock before they are allowed to smash and grab it again.
Brilliant.
WHAT? They’re stealing MILLION$ in goods and they’ll worry about a “trespassing citation”? Hahahahaaaaaaa
Released them? I don’t understand. Why don’t the police just issue them all crowbars and hammers as well.
The ban means they came come into the store during regular hours but they arent planning to They prefer to enter the store after closing ...
