Lacey police say this man and woman are wanted for fire, theft at area retailer
Lacey police are asking the public to help identify a man and woman who are wanted in connection with a fire and stolen merchandise at an area retailer.
About 8:15 p.m. Sept. 16, the two entered the Burlington store at 5600 Martin Way E.
Police say they loaded a cart with merchandise, then headed to the car seat section of the store where police say the woman set a car seat on fire.
Police think the woman created a distraction with the fire so that they could steal the merchandise. She then exited the store where she was picked up by a man in a dark-colored sedan.
Anyone with information about the two suspects is asked to call the non-emergency dispatch line at 360-704-2740 or South Sound Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
