Security boosted at garbage sites after thefts
Snohomish County is further boosting security at garbage drop-boxes after thieves tried to steal auto batteries last week.
The batteries can fetch $5 a piece at recyclers. County deputies said they arrested thieves who were trying to steal batteries after break-ins at two county drop-boxes in Snohomish and Sultan.
The county collects batteries from residents for free and takes them to recyclers.
The drop-boxes have alarms and surveillance cameras. Any suspicious activity can be reported to 911.
