Police make arrests in recent burglary cases
Olympia Police arrested five people associated with two different residential burglaries yesterday. In the first incident, a computer, game consoles and other items were stolen from a Westside home on August 17, 2012. One of the victims contacted Olympia Police and reported that the stolen computer had shown up for sale on Craig’s List. Yesterday, Detectives contacted the sellers, pretending to be interested buyers. The Detectives met with two juveniles who showed them the computer. The two were arrested when the computer they were offering matched the stolen computer. Two more juveniles were arrested later in the day, having been identified as also participating in the Westside burglary. Detectives believe the group may be responsible for other Westside burglaries that have occurred in the last month.
In another incident, police were called to a Northeast home at around 3:00 am this morning for a burglary in progress. The caller reported that someone was inside the home’s detached garage, which had been locked previously in the evening. While the resident watched, a person left the garage, pushing a wheel-barrow full of tools, and headed towards the street. Police responded and found Kraig Czapiewski with the stolen goods. Mr. Czapiewski was arrested for burglary. Police are investigating whether Mr. Czapiewski, who has a history of burglary and theft, may have been involved in several recent Eastside burglaries.
