Bizarre tunneling burglary targets Washington Starbucks, deputies say

Burglars in Kingston, Washington didn’t bother with the front door. 

Rather, they broke into the adjacent location and dug a tunnel through the Starbucks bathroom wall. The crime was captured on a deputy’s body-worn camera, as reported by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.

The heist happened around 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 8, when a Starbucks employee arrived for an early shift at the store in the 8200 block of Northeast Highway 104 and found the place ransacked. 

Deputies soon discovered a hole in the wall leading to a vacant unit next door.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities hope the unusual break-in method and public release of bodycam footage will help jog someone’s memory enough to come forward.

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
