Press Release from City of Olympia

RELEASE DATE: 4/17/11
RE: Malicious Mischief
On April 16, 2011 at 7:43am the Olympia Police was notified of extensive damage to the window glass at the South Sound Bank, which is located on the corner of Harrison Ave and Division St. Officers arrived to find that criminals used and unknown object to break out every window to the business with the exception of the glass to the drive up teller area. The preliminary damage estimates to the business exceed ten thousand dollars. Based on a review of the banks video system the damage occurred at 2:29 am. The business staff also verified that a freshly spray painted message, which was found on the back side of the business is believed to be associated with the window damage. Police believe the damage was caused by local criminals (Anarchists) that are targeting financial institutions in solidarity with a similar group that was arrested and being prosecuted in Asheville, North Carolina.

Police are asking for any witnesses or persons who have information concerning this crime to call the Olympia Police Department at 753-8300 or the Thurston County Crime Stoppers at 493-2222.

Prevention Message from Chief Roberts

As most of you know this week is Spring Break.  Many of your neighbors will be out of town making their residences and businesses vulnerable to crime.  Please take time to secure your valuables, keep things locked up and report suspicious activity in your neighborhoods.  There are already signs of increased criminal activity in the southeast neighborhoods. 

 

Let’s all work together to make this a safe and enjoyable week.
