BELLEVUE, Wash. — Bellevue’s Police Chief is saying evidence so far shows that looters from Sunday night are part of an organized crime ring.
Chief Steve Mylett said the looters were operating separately from the peaceful protesters who turned out in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.
Mylett says he thinks gang members are exploiting the situation and may be operating in other cities as well. He said some of the looters are armed and he worries their crimes could escalate.
