All were taken to the police station at and released to their parents.

Aug. 23

• Police arrested a 19-year-old Kirkland man on third-degree theft charges after he was detained by security at the Juanita store on 100th Avenue at 6:45 p.m. for leaving without paying for some hot food.

• Someone stole a bicycle, shop vac, air compressor, three car batteries, battery charger and tools between 6 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. from the front yard of a residence on 126th Ave. NE on north Rose Hill, reported the 49-year-old resident. Police were not able to gather any information on a suspect.

• A 27-year-old transient told police that some time in the early morning hours someone stole from his room in the Totem Lake area his iPhone and Bose headphones. Perhaps not coincidentally, that evening police arrested for trespassing a 27-year-old transient at the same motel. Motel employees reported that the man was verbally abusive and refused to leave. He in turn claimed unfair treatment, but was arrested after repeated warnings when he would not leave.
