Two adults and two teens have been arrested for the burglary of an occupied home and police believe there may be a connection to a series of similar burglaries throughout the Newcastle and North Renton area.

The two adults are from Kent, while the juveniles are from Renton. All were arrested on suspicion of burglary and booked into jail.

Deputies were called to the 11400 block of Southeast 83rd Street at about 1:45 a.m. Sunday for a report of a suspicious car in a residential neighborhood occupied by four males. A search of the area led to the discovery of a burglary at a nearby home.

It was determined the males entered the house where a family was asleep inside through an open second floor window after removing a screen. The car was impounded where a search warrant will be served to recover and return the families stolen property.

Newcastle sheriff detectives are working to see if other cat burglaries in the city and in Renton are connected to the same suspects.

With the warmer weather residents are encouraged to keep windows and doors locked and report any suspicious people or cars in their neighborhood.
