If you missed Friday night at , you missed a good one. No. 1 Puyallup beat No. 3 Graham-Kapowsin 31-24 in overtime in the 4A championship game, and the Vikings are undefeated.

Graham-Kapowsin tied it late in the fourth quarter on a field goal. Then Malcolm Akuffo ran in the overtime score, and Puyallup's front smothered G-K's quarterback on fourth down.

Enumclaw police search for three suspects who cut down two license plate reader cameras

If you live in Enumclaw, police want to hear from you. Three people in an early-2000s white, short-body cargo van cut down two automated license plate readers around 12:55 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, the Enumclaw Police Department said. They left the camera equipment behind.

Two cameras, three suspects, one overnight cut

Investigators recovered surveillance footage of the suspects and van, plus soil impressions and an item that may hold fingerprints or DNA. Cutting down the cameras is often called “,” and the Courier-Herald notes eight cameras were damaged in Covington last August.

“People may disagree about the use of ALPR technology. That disagreement does not authorize someone with criminal intent to destroy taxpayer-funded, city-owned property.”

Enumclaw Police Department
  • Charge: first-degree malicious mischief, a Class B felony
  • Penalty: up to 10 years, a $20,000 fine, or both
  • Tips: call 360-825-3505 and cite Case No. 26-5044

Police are working several leads in the camera case

Two giant cameras and several plastic domes have been turning heads on the lawn of a house on the corner of 34th Avenue East in Midland. They're mobile food trucks for Prestige, a Nigerian restaurant and boba shop that Victor and Susan Aruwah plan to open by Nov. 13. They light up in rainbow colors at night. Say cheese.
