24C12095 Leavenworth Burglary Prank

Sheriff Mike Morrison reports, on 11/11/2024 at approximately 1335 hrs, Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to a report of a burglary at a business in the 800 blk of Front St in Leavenworth.  The reporting party claimed to be from a security monitoring company, and was watching a live feed of 3 males inside the business attempting to break into a safe.  He also reported all three males were armed with handguns. \

Deputies responded, evacuated nearby business, surrounded the building, as they continued to obtain information.  Due to the nature of the call and the location, officers from Washington State Patrol and Washington State Fish and Wildlife also responded to assist.  During the on-going investigation,  deputies were eventually able to determine the call was a prank.  Out of an abundance of caution, the deputies searched the building and verified there was nobody inside.  Once the scene was secure, the area was opened back up to the residence and general public at approximately 1445 hrs.  

Sheriff’s Office Detectives are investigating the incident in order to identify the person who made the call.
