SEQUIM – Two attempted burglaries in the same neighborhood on Lost Mountain Road near Sequim Wednesday night have law enforcement looking for a single suspect. Both burglaries were interrupted by the home owners, and while the suspect was not able to get away with any stolen property, he is still at large.

The first encounter with the suspect happened at about 4:50PM when home owners came home to find a stranger in the house. They confronted him, but he was able to get away fled the into a wooded area.

Deputies and Sequim Police Officers arrived in the area and set up a perimeter and used a Sequim Police K-9 to try and track the suspect, but he managed to get away.

Then at 8:00 Deputies responded to another home within a mile for the report of a prowler. That home owner was home at the time and ordered the suspect to leave the property.

Deputies patrolled the area most of the night using a thermal imager, but were not able to find the suspect, described as a white male about 5’10 to 6’ tall with brown hair, scruffy facial hair and wearing a long sleeve shirt, dark pants and high-top sneakers.

A suspicious vehicle parked in the area of the burglaries is considered a vehicle of interest, and investigators are pursuing leads.
