Police Blotter | Upset Customer; Illegal Encampment; Dumpster Divers

The Snoqualmie Valley Police Blotter provides a snapshot of community safety concerns and police activity during early September 2024. A notable incident involved an angry customer at a North Bend bank who was frustrated over a failed $5,000 withdrawal attempt, resulting in him yelling and hitting a wall, though no damage or threats were reported. Meanwhile, officers discovered three illegal encampments at Tollgate Farm, leading to citations for the occupants and a cleanup organized by Friends of the Trail. Other reports included a suspicious male looking through porches in downtown Snoqualmie and individuals scavenging through dumpsters. Additionally, police responded to a report of a dog left in a parked vehicle, which was found to be in no distress.

The blotter also noted a British citizen's lost passport and a wallet theft in Bellevue that escalated to vehicle theft. These incidents highlight the ongoing issues of safety and public order within the community. Local law enforcement remains vigilant in addressing these challenges and ensuring the safety of residents.
