Two people arrested for burglarizing Soap Lake home

Two people have been arrested after a home was burglarized north of Soap Lake Wednesday.

Grant County Sheriff deputies say for two nights in a row the home off the 22000 block of State Route 17 North had been burglarized. Deputies started a stake out at the home Wednesday morning.

Around 6 a.m. a car pulled up, opened a secured gate and drove up to the home, a short time later, as the driver was leaving, a deputy stopped the car. The car’s driver, Brenda Starcher, 44 of Soap Lake, was arrested. The passenger, 26-year-old Daniel Coreas of Soap Lake, fled on foot.

K-9 Grizzly helped search the area until a witness told deputies a person matching Coreas description got into a car and headed north on SR17 toward Coulee City.

Deputies and Ephrata police caught up with the car near Moore Road Northeast and arrested Coreas who was a passenger in the car.

Both Starcher and Coreas are lodged in the Grant County Jail for investigation of second degree burglary.
