ENUMCLAW POLICE BLOTTER

Employees at a Garrett Street restaurant interrupted a burglary attempt at 3:30 a.m. Sept. 17, halting a night of crime linked to two male subjects.

When confronted at the Garrett Street business, the two subjects fled on foot but were later taken into custody with assistance from Buckley and Orting police, plus a K-9 unit from Federal Way. The police dog successfully tracked the two suspects, finding both an adult and a juvenile who were hiding nearby but in separate locations.

Police reports link them to five other incidents during the early-morning hours:

• Police took a walk-in report of a broken window at a Griffin Avenue address. An officer confirmed it was an attempted burglary and the owner responded to secure the building.

• A broken window at a Roosevelt Avenue address.

• A commercial burglary of a Griffin Avenue business.

• A vehicle parked in a Roosevelt Avenue lot was damaged.
