On December 11, 2023, Seattle Police arrested a 27-year-old male after he, along with several other suspects, attempted to burglarize a cannabis business in SODO.

Shortly before 3:00 a.m., the owner of the business called 911 to report multiple suspects attempting to break into their building in the 2700 block of 6th Place South.. The owner was off-site and watching the suspects on security cameras. As officers arrived, several suspects fled on foot and two vehicles sped away.
