Deputies arrested two suspected of burglarizing a Snohomish County 911 emergency communications tower north of Granite Falls.
Around 7:30 Wednesday morning, deputies from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office answered calls of a burglary at a radio tower.
When deputies arrived, they spotted the suspect’s car leaving the scene.
When deputies tried to stop the car, the suspects ran away, deputies say.
A K9 unit was brought in to track the suspects and one was quickly found.
Deputies requested another K9 unit and helicopter support to find the other suspect.
Around 10:45 a.m., the second suspect was found but needed to be hoisted up because deputies were not able to arrest the suspect safely.
The suspect’s car was impounded while waiting for a search warrant and both suspects were booked into Snohomish County Jail.
Deputies said there were intermittent disruptions to emergency radio service but 9-1-1 service was not affected.
The investigation is ongoing.
