The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

SHOPLIFTER TAKES SAWS: A known shoplift suspect on April 10 stole two saws worth $378 from Lowe’s home improvement store on Garden Avenue.

The 44-year-old Seattle woman placed a Dewalt circular saw and a Skil worm saw into her cart and walked out the store and to her waiting minivan.

She’s the suspect in two previous Renton cases; the Federal Way Lowe’s provided her identity to the Renton store.

A citation for third-degree theft was sent to Renton prosecutors for review.

CHILD FOUND SAFE: A 2-year-boy, the subject of an Amber alert in Des Moines April 15 and apparently the victim of a kidnapping, was found in Renton.

A Renton couple had been asked to babysit the child by a relative, who is the girlfriend of the boy’s father. She left only a baby bottle and no diapers.

The next morning, becoming concerned with not being able to reach the relative, the Renton couple checked Facebook and the news and realized the child was the subject of an Amber alert. They called 911 and Des Moines detectives picked up the child.

The apparent kidnapping started when the child’s mother was subdued with a stun gun and tied with zip ties. The child, along with the mother, were taken to a home in Fife by the father, the girlfriend and the child’s grandmother.

The child was then taken to Renton; the mother escaped and called relatives for help.

Des Moines detectives are doing the primary investigation and the three people who took the child were apprehended, according to Renton Police, who assisted the Des Moines department.

LIQUOR SHOPLIFTER STOPPED: Two Safeway security officers on April 7 held down a shoplift suspect in the liquor aisle until Renton Police officers arrived at the store on Northeast Sunset Boulevard.

The 18-year-old’s accomplice managed to escape – with the liquor in a backpack.

The suspect took a swing at one of the security officers, who placed the man in a headlock. Another security officer joined the original one on top of the suspect to hold him down until Renton officers arrived.

After the suspect’s arrest officers found 1.84 grams of cocaine in his sweatpants.

He was booked for investigation of second-degree theft and possession of a controlled substance. His state Department of Corrections probation officer was notified.

VAPORIZER STOLEN: A man walking along Southeast Petrovitsky Road at about 5 a.m. April 15 was robbed at gunpoint of his wallet and his vapor smoking device.

The 22-year-old Renton man was walking with a Kent woman when they were approached by a tall slender man in his 20s near a bus stop. He racked the slide on his handgun and demanded the man’s wallet and vaporizer.

The suspect then fled eastbound on Petrovitsky and down a flight of stairs at a nearby apartment complex.

A K9 unit searched unsuccessfully for the suspect.
