SPOKANE, Wash. Two porch pirates accused of stealing dozens of Christmas presents off porches in Spokane last year has been arrested again, police said on Thursday.
The Spokane Police Department received a call at about 1:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve from someone reporting that their neighbor had a package stolen off of their front porch near the 2500 block of W. Crown Avenue, according to Sgt. Terry Preuninger.
The caller gave police a description of the suspect vehicle and license plate, along with a description of the suspects.
Surveillance video that the victim provided to police showed a woman with dark hair and distinctive highlights, a 12 hoodie and distinctive black shoes with white soles going up to the packages and looking at them, Preuninger said. The victim told SPD that the stolen package was the gift of a jack-in-the-box for a child.
The future is undoubtedly bright for the Spokane Public Library, but the new year will bring continued uncertainty.
The pandemic will continue to limit the library’s services for the foreseeable future, but officials also expect to complete the renovation of the Shadle Branch and construction of The Hive, a new building on E. Sprague and S. Haven, in 2021.
“We’re excited about that for sure, but it is certainly a challenge to navigate through the pandemic at the same time as navigating through the construction and opening of these facilities,” Library Director Andrew Chanse told The Spokesman-Review Wednesday.
If the mayor’s proposed 2021 budget is approved by the Spokane City Council on Monday, the Library Fund would be set at $10.7 million, down from the $10.8 million in 2020.
