Bonney Lake Police seek help in locating suspects in 72,000 theft ring
The Bonney Lake Police Department is actively seeking public assistance to locate Sean Barrett and Eleta Ainsback, two suspects tied to a theft ring amounting to over $72,000 in stolen electronics, specifically Apple watches and Samsung phones. The suspects have been implicated in more than 30 theft incidents at T-Mobile and AT&T stores since early October, spanning multiple cities including Everett, Lynnwood, and Seattle. Surveillance images showcase distinct clothing choices that may aid the public in identifying Barrett and Ainsback. For instance, Barrett is often seen in casual workout gear and has been caught on camera wearing a black Vans hat or camouflage attire. Ainsback typically wears ripped jeans and slides, making her easily recognizable by her large neck tattoo.
Both suspects are transient and are charged with first-degree organized retail theft, highlighting the severity of their actions. The Bonney Lake Police urge anyone who spots the suspects to call 911 immediately. Additionally, tips can be submitted via email or through the BLPD Tip Line.
