A resident on the 24000 block of Northeast 31st Way had a laptop stolen from their home at around 7:45 a.m. Dec. 23.

The case remains under investigation.
Suspended license
A 37-year-old Seattle man was cited for driving with a suspended license after being pulled over near the corner of Northeast 12th Street and 228th Avenue Northeast Dec. 20. The man’s license had been suspended in July for unpaid tickets. The man was released at the scene.

When she went to leave at around noon she noticed multiple items missing from her vehicle. She noted that a propane camping stove had been taken from her garage five months earlier but that she hadn’t reported it at the time. The case remains under investigation.
Harassment
A 24-year-old Carnation man will be charged with violation of a court order for allegedly calling and emailing a Sammamish woman in violation of a restraining order between the two.
The woman called police Dec. 20 after she received several phone calls and text messages from her ex-boyfriend accusing her of having sexual relations with another person.
The woman had received a court order in November forbidding the man from contacting her.
Police called the man and verified that he was the one sending the messages and forwarded the case to prosecutors.

Too young to drink
Three 19-year-old men will likely face alcohol-related charges after being pulled over on the 23200 block of Northeast 10th Place Dec. 15. An officer began following the teens’ vehicle after seeing it stop for no apparent reason in the middle of the roundabout at the corner of Northeast Eighth Street and 244th Avenue Northeast. The officer pulled the vehicle over shortly later. The occupants smelled of alcohol, though none were over the age of 21.
