NORMANDY PARK, Wash. — Some of nearly a dozen total burglars hopped out of a stolen vehicle that backed into the front entrance of a Normandy Park vape shop early Monday morning in the region's latest crash-and-grab burglary.
The incident occurred around 2:40 a.m. at Tobacco Studio and Vape on First Avenue South. Cleanup efforts were underway when a KOMO News crew arrived to the scene a couple of hours later.
Damage to the store is extensive, and surveillance video from the store shows the vehicle back into the entrance. After the crash, several people went inside the store and began stealing merchandise, video shows.
Normandy Park police said the vehicle was stolen in Seattle and "as many as 11" people stole products before leaving in two other vehicles, one of which was also stolen.
Police described the burglars as 14-18 years old.
