Boat, home targeted in Medina

Medina Police reported two recent incidents – one involving a boat and the other a home.

Sometime between Feb. 1 and May 15, a water vessel prowl to a 45 foot cruiser occurred on the waterfront in the 4200 block of Hunts Point Road.

The cruiser moored in Cozy Cove, was broken into and various items were taken including electronics, cash and prescription drugs. There were no witnesses to the event.

Investigators believe the intruders likely approached from the water to commit the crime. This information was shared with the Mercer Island Marine Patrol with request for heightened patrol on the Medina waterfront.

On Thursday May 21 between 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. while the homeowner was away, unknown suspect(s) forced entry into a side kitchen door to a residence in the 300 block of Overlake Drive East.

Jewelry and electronics equipment estimated at around $20,000 were reported stolen. A forensic examination was conducted at the crime scene, but no prints of evidentiary value could be located.
