(Update: Charges dropped against one person)

Six Redmond residents, including three juveniles, were arrested on burglary, theft and criminal mischief charges, accused of breaking into a Little League concession stand and stealing a cash register and safe holding more than $1,000, as well as various snacks, police said Thursday. Charges were dropped about two weeks later against one of those arrested.

Police were contacted June 22 about the burglary at the Bowlby Field sports complex on Southwest Parkway Drive, said Sgt. Eric Beckwith.

Officers found the building’s lock was broken off, allowing suspects to get in and steal the items of the Redmond Little League baseball and softball teams, including more than $1,000 that were in the cash register and safe, Beckwith said.

After about two weeks of investigation, Redmond residents Quinton Monk, 21, John Green III, 22, and three male juveniles — two ages 15, one 16 — were arrested on charges of second-degree burglary, first-degree theft and second-degree criminal mischief. A sixth person, an adult, also was charged, but court records indicate those charges were dismissed later in the month.

The sergeant said a small amount of the stolen money was recovered when the suspects were arrested.

Monk, arrested Monday, remained jailed Thursday, held on $5,000 bail and also facing a charge of drug possession without a prescription. Breen, booked into the jail Wednesday night, also remained jailed, held on $25,000 bail.

Breen and two of the three juveniles previously had been barred (trespassed) from Redmond city parks for failing to follow park rules and criminal behavior while in the park, Beckwith said, adding that the department remains vigilant in ensuring our city parks are safe and enjoyable for everyone.

“The Redmond Police Department is a proud supporter of Redmond Little League, and we are gratified in locating and arresting the suspects in the case,” the sergeant said.

Redmond police have increased their presence in the parks this summer, he added. Police cadets on bikes are patrolling the parks, looking for criminal behavior and violation of park rules while connecting with children and families in a positive context.

Beckwith said the cadets were instrumental in locating one of the juvenile suspects for investigating officers.
