Two businesses along the Bothell-Everett Highway and one on 164th Street SE were both burglarized in the last week.

The Port of Subs restaurant on Bothell-Everett Highway was broken into early Sunday morning, Oct. 24, the first of the recent string.

Mill Creek police responded to an audible alarm at the business shortly after 2:30 a.m. Upon arrival, officers found the business was broken into, and that an unspecified amount of cash was taken.

Police searched the area unsuccessfully for a suspect or suspects.

In another incident, the Mill Creek Dentist, located at 16306 Bothell-Everett Highway, was broken into shortly before 3:30 a.m. Monday, Oct. 25.
