A victim finds his son's dog-hair-covered video game controllers at a pawnshop, giving Lynnwood police a lead into as many as 10 apartment break-ins.
Police caught up with the suspected burglars after Detective Doug Teachworth and burglary victim Jeff Morin were able to link the suspects to stolen merchandise sold at a game store and several pawnshops.
Teachworth was investigating two burglary cases at an apartment complex when he came across Morin, who said he had found his stolen PlayStation games at a nearby game store that trades and buys used video games.
"We saw my son's game controllers, and I spotted one of our games on the shelf. I knew it was ours right away because it had my dog's hair all over it," Morin said.
Morin had the clerk pull down the controller, telling him in advance it would be covered in white dog hair.
