Burien Police say two suspects have been identified in a shoplifting case involving more than $1200 dollars in stolen medical equipment from a CVS Pharmacy in Burien.
According to the Burien Police Department, which is staffed by the King County Sheriff’s Office, the pair walked out of the store on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025 without paying for the items.
Detectives conducted what the department described as a quick investigation and were able to identify both individuals.
“Unfortunately for them, our officers don’t take days off work,” police said in a statement. “After a quick and thorough investigation, detectives identified both suspects, who appear to be connected to a possible theft ring. Charges have been forwarded to the Burien Prosecutor, and let’s say their next appointment won’t be at a pharmacy.”
“We want to thank CVS for their cooperation and assistance in this case,” police added.
A speedy, great job by our Burien Police. Hopefully, this will help to deter some criminals from trying this again. CVS has excellent cameras, too. Pay at the register like the rest of us!
