The investigation began in October 2024, when a police detective in Seattle was charged with a check of a series of burglary aimed at large safes and ATMs.
Observation footage was revealed by a group of four people who thoroughly plan each basket, often using many stolen vehicles and construction equipment to execute crimes.
Authorities said the suspects would steal vehicles days before thefts, using them to drill business and access safes or ATMs. The stolen vehicles were then used to transport the machines and the money was extracted using the jaws of life.
The Seattle Police Department works with the sheriff of the King County, the FBI, the Kent Police Department, the Amendments Department, the Prosecutor’s Office of the United States and the Prosecutor General Prosecutor’s Office during the mission.
The suspect, identified as a crew leader, was booked in King County on charges of three first -degree charges and three allegations of malicious mischief.
