Casey McNerthney at Seattlepi.com reports that an Eastlake dentist's office was the object of a break-in early on the morning of Monday, Oct. 12.
The case may be related to a rash of medical or dental burglaries since early September. Most have been in north Seattle. Items taken in those burglaries include dental gold, money and narcotics.
McNerthney says police responded to a security call at 5:50 a.m. on Oct. 12 at a dental office in the 2700 block of Eastlake Ave. E. Glass had been broken, the front door dead bolt was removed, and a security keypad had been torn off a wall. Despite all that, nothing was apparently stolen.
A second break-in that day occurred in the 600 block of West McGraw Street. A metal cash box was taken.
