Further investigation lead the officers to a house in the 400 block of Sand Dune Ave. SW. The suspects, a 38-year old man and a 28-year old woman, were apparently 'squatting' in the vacant house. The woman was found hiding in a bed stolen from the other house, covered in stolen blankets. Sgt. Watson obtained a search warrant for the house and recovered nearly all the property stolen in the burglary. Other property, possibly from other burglaries, was also located.
Both suspects were booked into the Grays Harbor County jail for suspicion of Residential Burglary.
