Authorities are requesting public assistance in identifying two burglars who employed an unusual method to break into a house in Lake Washington. The suspects, clad in wetsuits, utilized paddleboards to access the targeted residence situated on 95th Ave. Northeast in Yarrow Point, an area renowned for its tranquil atmosphere.
The audacious robbery occurred early Thursday morning when the thieves approached the house on a yellow and a blue stand-up paddleboard. Upon arrival, they forced entry through the back glass door, possibly under the assumption that someone was inside. The residence is located north of Bellevue along the shores of Lake Washington.
KING5 News is in the process of verifying the specific items stolen during the incident. Nonetheless, officers who responded to the scene mentioned over the scanner that the burglars appeared to have made off with cash, estimated to be worth around $20,000.
The bold crime has left local residents in shock, with one individual describing it as a 'full-on heist' and comparing it to a 'Mission Impossible' scenario. The Clyde Hill Police Department encourages anyone who has information regarding the suspects or the incident to step forward.
In the meantime, the authorities are urging the public to report any unusual activities on land or water by dialing 911, so that officers can conduct further investigations. The paddleboarding thieves are still at large.
