Thieves Filmed Sneaking Out Back Door of Costco—Surprise is Waiting for Them

A group of thieves had their quick exit out the back door of a Seattle, Washington, Costco store cut short when Seattle Police officers were standing just outside waiting for them on Wednesday, March 14. According to a statement from Seattle Police, “Loss Prevention officers inside the store recognized one of the suspects inside and said he had previously stolen items in the past and run out the fire exit.” Officers began to question a woman parked behind an emergency exit when they heard someone trying to open the emergency doors from inside the store. They then apprehended two additional suspects attempting to leave the store with roughly $2,200 in merchandise. One 30-year-old man, an 18-year-old woman, and a 21-year-old woman were all arrested in the incident. Credit: Seattle Police Department via Storyful
