OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SPOKANE VALLEY POLICE DEPT: On Wednesday evening November
7, 2012, Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputies responded to the 2600 block of North
Park Road reference a residential burglary.
When the homeowner arrived home
from work he found six firearms and jewelry missing. While the deputies were
conducting their investigation they learned that the grandson of a neighboring
residence may have taken part in the burglary. Deputies spoke with the grandson
but did not develop enough evidence to implicate him at that
time.
The next morning, Thursday,
November 8, 2012, Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputies responded to the area of
Trent and Park. Witnesses said two males appeared to be prowling the area and
appeared suspicious. When deputies arrived on scene they located the grandson
from the night prior attempting to hide from them.
The grandson was detained and
interviewed by Spokane Valley Detectives about the burglary the night prior. He
told investigators he was at the burglary the night prior along with 25-year-old
Seth Stensgar and 28-year-old Grant Brough. The grandson said Stensgar was with
him in the morning prowling the area of Trent and Park but fled the scene prior
to deputies arriving.
The grandson said Stensgar fled
the scene in a newer, silver or gray Nissan Altima with Montana license plates. He said he had not seen Brough that morning but provided an address where he
lived.
Detectives responded to
Brough's residence near the 2100 block of West Fairview. When they arrived on
scene, Brough exited the residence and left in a vehicle. Detectives attempted
to initiate a traffic stop on Brough. Brough fled the scene and a short vehicle
pursuit ensued.
Brough ran from his vehicle
near the area of Euclid and A St. and several units attempted unsuccessfully to
locate him in the area. Detectives did locate a female subject that remained in
the vehicle Brough ran from.
Later Thursday evening, the
Spokane County SWAT Team served a search warrant at Brough's residence. Brough
was not located but a stolen vehicle was located at the residence. Two of the
stolen firearms have been located since the burglary.
Anyone with information is
asked to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.
