Burglars in Kingston, Washington didn’t bother with the front door. 

Instead, they tunneled through the bathroom wall of a Starbucks after breaking in next door — a burglary of which evidence was caught on a deputy’s body-worn camera, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.

The heist happened around 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 8, when a Starbucks employee arrived for an early shift at the store in the 8200 block of Northeast Highway 104 and found the place ransacked. 

Deputies soon discovered a hole in the wall leading to a vacant unit next door.

Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and urging anyone with information to call Kitsap County’s Crime Stoppers line at 1-800-222-TIPS or submit tips online via the sheriff’s Facebook page.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities hope the unusual break-in method and public release of bodycam footage will help jog someone’s memory enough to come forward.

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
