KENT, Wash. - Owners at Northwest Tri & Bike are speaking out after criminals used a stolen vehicle to ram the back of their building last week.
Video shared with FOX 13 News shows a blue pickup truck ramming the back entrance of Northwest Tri and Bike on Sept. 16. Several people wearing concealing clothing can be seen trying to gain entry after the truck wrecks the business’ steel door.
"You see the truck just over and over, trying to ram and get in," said co-owner Andrew Nuez. "I mean, they were pretty determined. Luckily, we were able to get ahead of them and call police because we were watching the cameras."
Nuez said the attempted break-in isn’t the first time he’s had to file a police report.
