Washingtoner/10236816

~ Yesterday, the Spokane Police Department (SPD) arrested two convicted felons and requested charges on a third in connection with the burglary of an automobile liquidation business in the 3800 block of North Division.

The incident occurred on 10/24/23 at 10am when SPD patrol officers responded to a report of numerous stolen vehicles from the business' lot. It was determined that a person or persons had broken into the business and stolen multiple sets of keys. Later that morning, several people returned to the business and took a total of 8 vehicles during several trips back to the dealership between 2 and 5:30am.

Investigators from SPD's Stolen Property Enforcement and Recovery (SPEAR) Unit quickly worked to identify the suspects and recover the vehicles. By early afternoon officers had located 4 cars in an apartment complex in North Spokane and shortly afterwards arrested Fran Anunar (19). Anunar is charged with 8 counts of vehicle theft and 1 count of commercial burglary and was booked into the Spokane County Jail late yesterday. Anunar is a 3 time convicted felon to include 2 burglary convictions.
