An unnamed burglary suspect will soon appear in court after he was discovered on the roof of a Washington State<\/a> gaming property earlier this month. The King County Sheriff\u2019s Office revealed this week he was hiding amidst stolen computers.<\/p>\n

The unidentified Shoreline, Wash. casino had been broken into on Sept. 3. The casino manager discovered the break-in then alerted the sheriff\u2019s office at 3 am while he remained in his car.<\/p>\n

“When deputies arrived, they noticed movement on top of the casino’s roof,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said in a Facebook post released Tuesday. \u201cUsing their spotlight, deputies determined the suspect was hiding up there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deputies used a loudspeaker to order the man to come down. But he remained \u201cagitated,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said. He failed to follow their instructions and stayed on the roof.<\/p>\n

Suspect Stole Computers, Casino Keys<\/h2>\n

Police used de-escalation and negotiations skills to eventually convince the suspect to come down from the room. When the man descended, deputies took him into custody.<\/p>\n

\n

The suspect had many computers and tablets in his possession that had been taken from the casino, according to the sheriff\u2019s office. The man also had several sets of keys for casino doors. They were stolen from the gaming property during an earlier burglary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The man was charged with second-degree commercial burglary. He was taken to King County Jail earlier this month. It is unclear if he was ever released from custody.<\/p>\n

Bad Robbery Plan<\/h2>\n

Deputies believe the casino\u2019s surveillance cameras photographed the man stealing the devices. In a warning to potential burgers, the sheriff’s office offered a word of advice online.<\/p>\n

Take note, there are few places with more surveillance cameras than a casino,\u201d<\/strong> the sheriff\u2019s office advised in the online post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The suspect\u2019s court date was not released by the sheriff\u2019s office. It is unknown if he has entered a plea in the case. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison and\/or a fine of $20,000. A judge also may want to order restitution for the stolen items.<\/p>\n

Shoreline is located about 11 miles north of Seattle. It is the site of several gaming properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
