**Lynnwood police request public help ID non-profit ring thief**
Lynnwood police are seeking the public's help in identifying a man who stole a vintage free mason 14k gold ring worth $1,200 from Bella's Voice, a non-profit thrift store dedicated to supporting animals in need. The theft occurred on a Thursday night when the suspect asked to see the ring and walked out without paying, pushing past a supervisor at the exit. Bella's Voice relies heavily on donations to operate its pet food bank, making this theft particularly upsetting for the organization and its supporters. Surveillance footage suggests that the same individual may have previously stolen a necklace from the store about two and a half weeks ago. The police are urging anyone with information about this suspect to contact them, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in solving such crimes.
Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for any information leading to an arrest. This case highlights ongoing concerns about thefts impacting local non-profits and their ability to serve the community.
