Armed burglars steal packages from Graham house

A pair of armed burglars followed a delivery truck to a Graham home then stole several packages from both the porch and inside the house, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.

Detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying them. The homeowner’s security cameras captured video of the burglary, which took place about 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 23.

Two men followed the delivery truck through a security gate on Orting Kapowsin Highway East and approached a house.

One burglar knocked on the front door then stole two packages off the porch, sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said.

The second burglar tried to pry open a back door but couldn’t. He then forced open the front door and took several items from the house.

The first burglar is described as a light-skinned black man in his 20s with dark, bushy hair and a mustache. He was wearing a black and red jacket, a plaid collared shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.

The second burglar was also a light-skinned black man in his 20s and was wearing a black Crooks & Castle hooded sweatshirt, knit pom-style beanie, tan pants and white sneakers.

Anyone with information on the identity of the men is asked to call Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.

Reward money may be given if the tip leads to the arrest and charging of the burglars.
