While on patrol in Snoqualmie, officers were dispatched to a theft report call. A person reported that his son’s electric scooter had been stolen at the YMCA. The officer contacted the son to receive his statement about the incident. The son stated that he and a friend were walking by Snoqualmie Community Park when a person in all-black clothing started walking towards them. When the person got close, he “roared” at them.
This scared the son and his friend, and they ran away. The person started to chase after them but eventually stopped. The son and his friend decided to look back after realizing they weren’t being chased anymore and saw the suspect riding down the hill on the scooter. Because it was dark, the son couldn’t accurately describe the suspect. The officer drove around the area but was unable to locate the suspect.
