Washington Starbucks hit by unusual tunneling burglary scheme in Kingston
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Burglars in Kingston, Washington didn’t bother with the front door.
Instead, they tunneled through the bathroom wall of a Starbucks after breaking in next door — a burglary of which evidence was caught on a deputy’s body-worn camera, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.
The heist happened around 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 8, when a Starbucks employee arrived for an early shift at the store in the 8200 block of Northeast Highway 104 and found the place ransacked.
Deputies soon discovered a hole in the wall leading to a vacant unit next door.

“They found a hole burrowed through the wall of an adjacent building,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook video, which also described how “thieves had tunneled into the coffee shop through a vacant shop next door.”
Once inside, the burglars rifled through cash drawers, cut computer cables, tore through cabinets, and damaged a safe in an apparent attempt to break into it. It’s unclear if they made off with anything, and the total losses and damage are still being tallied.
As of Aug. 13, no suspects had been identified.

While smash-and-grab thefts are not unusual in the area, tunneling operations are rare, suggesting the burglars may have scoped out the property and planned the heist in advance.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities hope the unusual break-in method and public release of bodycam footage will help jog someone’s memory enough to come forward.

NEW DELHI: The West Asia conflict is pushing govt to look at a faster transition towards renewable energy, including the possibility of increasing ethanol blending in petrol from 20-25%, although in a calibrated manner. This will come along with increased refining capacity within the country, so that there is a buffer in the system and greater domestic resilience, those familiar with the discussions said, pointing out that sustaining refineries at 100% capacity is not sustainable.While Barmer refinery has begun operations, expansion at Numaligarh is underway and work on integrated refineries on the west coast is also under focus. Apart from a mega refinery in Maharashtra, a new facility in Gujarat is also planned.Officials said rising use of renewables, biofuels and hydrogen in the energy mix was no longer just an environmental issue, but a strategic necessity in a situation like the present one, where the military conflict in West Asia has disrupted global energy supplies, triggering a supply crisis and a surge in oil and gas prices.According to officials, 20% ethanol blending has helped India save 4.5 crore barrels of crude annually and reduce foreign exchange outflow by around ₹1.5 lakh crore so far. Given the concerns over fuel efficiency and impact on vehicles, govt is expected to take a gradual approach that addresses the anxiety on ethanol blending. The third pillar on energy is expanding the strategic petroleum reserves.
