Snoqualmie Police are investigating three people connected with a series of break-ins at the Twin Star Car Wash in Snoqualmie. The three were apprehended late Wednesday April 15, after their third burglary of the business in recent weeks.

Police Captain Nick Almquist said the subjects had been driving a large moving truck when they were arrested, adding that it was possible they were connected with other reported burglaries in the area.

“This was their third time breaking into (the) business,” Alquist said.

The business owner had security cameras on the car wash, Almqist said, and he had been making a copy for police of the video showing earlier burglaries of a storage shed on the property when the three subjects returned and the owner confronted them.

The subjects left, and the owner called police, who assembled and stopped the vehicle as it was heading westbound on I-90, at the Preson exit.

Items stolen included tools and diesel fuel, “basically whatever they could get their hands on,” Almquist said.
