Reward offered for burglar
The nonprofit Secret Witness organization is offering a $200 reward for help in catching a bleach-spraying burglar.
Besides stealing five handguns in the April 25 daylight break-in at a home near Normandie Street and Queen Avenue, the burglar sprayed bleach on most of the homeowner’s clothing.
Police found fresh blood in the house and believe the burglar may have been injured.
Tipsters should call Secret Witness at (509) 327-5111 and use a code name or number if they wish to remain anonymous.

Spokane Valley
Woman hurt in I-90 rollover
A Spokane woman was injured Friday after a rollover accident on Interstate 90 in Spokane Valley.

Hill was transported to Deaconess Medical Center, where she was treated and released.
According to the press release, Hill may have been following another vehicle too closely. The accident remains under investigation.
