Since January 1, Bothell Police Department's Community Crime Reduction Team (CCRT) has recovered more than $400,000 worth of stolen property that has been returned to the rightful owners (or is in the process of being returned).
In many CCRT investigations, officers uncover links between several criminal cases, which result in arrests on multiple felony charges.
For many victims, the outcome of these investigations can be life-changing.
Recovered property can save a small business or someone's livelihood. Other returned items may be difficult to value in dollars and cents, but they are priceless and irreplaceable to their owners.
The Bothell Police CCRT investigators do outstanding work, but they can't do it alone. They get help from patrol officers, detectives, and community members.
Alert community members make a big difference. Please report crimes and suspicious activity. If you see suspicious activity – please call 911 right away.
