Reports of a prowler peering in windows and trying to break into homes in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood led to shots fired at officers followed by a search and arrest.
Seattle police said dispatchers received a series of calls about a prowler in the Volunteer Park area Sunday night.
At 7:40 p.m., a resident in the 1400 block of East Ward Street called 911 to report a man wearing a trench coat and a bucket hat walking around a neighbor’s house, peering through windows. The suspect drove away in a black sedan before officers arrived. About an hour later, a caller in the 1600 block of Federal Avenue East reported seeing a man matching the same description in her backyard. She said she saw a black sedan driving up and down her block.
Ten minutes later, police received an alarm call at a home in the same block. The homeowner’s security system recorded footage of a man in a bucket hat and a trench coat walking around the house before breaking a window with a rock. The suspect left the home before officers arrived.
