Sequim police seek public’s helping in identifying pair who stole camera from Costco

SEQUIM — Police in Sequim are seeking public help to identify two people who stole a $1,480 digital camera from Costco.

The pair entered the store, 995 W. Washington St., at about 3:50 p.m. Nov. 26, the day after Thanksgiving, and were recorded by surveillance cameras taking a Nikon D90 digital camera, a news release from Sequim Police Sgt. Maris Turner said.

“We need help identifying the suspects,” she wrote.

The woman and man were not found in the parking lot shortly after.

Sgt. Ken Almberg said that as of Sunday the pair still had not been identified.

“We are still working hard to find them,” he said.

One of the people appears to be a woman with blond hair, and the other is a man with darker hair.

How they removed the camera from the store was unclear Sunday.

Both were wearing hats, the woman a winter-type hat and the man a baseball cap.

The woman was wearing a brown jacket with faux-fur around the hood, and the man was wearing a denim jacket.

“Surveillance video of the theft was available and has provided good images to aid in this investigation,” Turner wrote.

That same day, several people were caught shoplifting, Almberg said.

Anyone with information on the crime should phone Sequim Police at 360-683-7227 and refer to case number S10-10847.
