Two men are in custody and one is on the loose after an early-morning burglary in Bonney Lake, according to police.
Mark Berry, police chief for the Bonney Lake Police Department, told The News Tribune the burglary happened at a local pharmacy at about 3:20 a.m. on Monday. When The News Tribune asked him for the name of the pharmacy, he declined to answer but said it is in the area of 204th Avenue East and state Route 410.
Berry said the suspects were three men. When police showed up at the pharmacy, they saw one of the men flee out the window and the two other men drive away in a white SUV, he said.
Berry said investigators used the city’s Flock license plate camera system “to identify the suspect vehicle and put that information out.”
A K9 from the Puyallup Police Department found the three men driving at 13th Street Southeast and Pioneer Way East in Puyallup, Berry said. The three men then ran out of the car and officers used a drone and a K9 to find two of the suspects, who are now in custody.
The third is still at large.
“After a search warrant on the vehicle, we recovered several bags of stolen prescription narcotics from the pharmacy, as well as burglary tools,” Berry said. “We are currently working with other agencies in the area who have reported similar burglaries.”
Berry said the third man was last seen wearing all-black clothing and a mask.
