Bellevue police are searching for an individual who stole from a home in Southwest Bellevue Dec. 12.

The suspect was knocking on doors in the neighborhood with a black labrador mix, telling residents he was looking for a smilar, smaller dog.

He parked his red, older-model Volkswagon Jetta in the victim’s driveway shortly after she left her home, and smashed open the back sliding door.

The suspect is described as a male, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 7 with a slight build. He’s of mixed race, possibly white or Hispanic, in his late teens or early 20s and has facial piercings that are likely on the eyebrow and upper lip. All piercings were small and silver.

Witnesses described the suspect as “nice looking,” having “perfect skin” and “groomed eyebrows.”

If you recognize this suspect, or have any information relevant to the investigation, please contact detective Bean at 425-452-7820 or gbean@bellevuewa.gov.
