A 16-year-old boy who was swimming in Lost Lake in southeast Snohomish County drowned Friday, sheriff’s officials said.
The boy, who was swimming with friends, went into the water about 5:50 p.m. and did not surface, sheriff’s spokeswoman Jan Jorgensen said.
The boy’s friends called 911, and the sheriff’s dive team responded in minutes. They discovered the boy in the lake, but he was dead at the scene, Jorgensen said.
The drowning is under investigation.
Marysville: Arrests in store vandalism
Two people were arrested for allegedly breaking into a new convenience store three times in four days.
The Grove Street Market, in the 5900 block of Grove Street, was first hit June 12. The suspects smashed a window with a wrench and stole cigarettes, pipes and other tobacco products, according to police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux.
Three days later, the store was hit again. This time, the suspects used an ax to smash a window and steal tobacco products.
A witness told the store’s owner he might know who was responsible for the break-ins.
Police contacted a boy, 15 and a man, 21, Tuesday at a nearby house. The man admitted to breaking into the store, Lamoureux said. The boy was released. The man was arrested for investigation of second-degree burglary.
The following morning, the store was burglarized again. Police viewed a video surveillance tape from the store and later arrested the 15-year-old.
