A Sammamish High School student arrested for shoplifting alcohol last month revealed that he and other students routinely steal liquor to sell to other students on Facebook.

The 15-year-old student was caught with another Sammamish student sneaking a $42 bottle of Hennessey whiskey into his backpack at the Factoria Mall Target location on Nov. 13. After being apprehended driving away from the scene by Bellevue Police, the suspect admitted to stealing the whiskey and told the arresting officer he intended to sell it online to other Sammamish High School students.

“The investigation revealed that the suspect and other Sammamish High School teens routinely steal liquor from local stores to sell through Facebook,” according to police records.

The school district did not comment on the issue except to say that they would pass the information along to Sammamish’s school resource officer.

“Bellevue Police Department and the district routinely work together when issues of this nature arise,” said spokesperson Christina Madden.
