When prolific gym locker thieves Troy Mitchell and Sydney Williams were charged with multiple felony counts of theft and identity theft in connection with dozens of locker break-ins at Bellevue gyms, it was just the tip of the iceberg. It seems the pair took their gym locker theft ring on the road.
During the investigation, Bellevue detectives tracked Mitchell and Williams around the country, committing similar thefts. As a result, both suspects are now also under investigation or charged in Oregon, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and several cities in Minnesota.
The same detectives re-arrested Mitchell yesterday (December 12th ) on a Fugitive from Justice warrant out of Oregon, where Mitchell and Williams have been charged with 14 felony counts of aggravated theft, identity theft, burglary and credit card fraud in Washington County.
The two 50-year-old suspects’ scheme has been consistent as they traipsed around the country. They check into a gym, compromise the locks on lockers, steal credit cards, and fraudulently use them to purchase thousands of dollars in merchandise.
Mitchell is currently in the King County Jail.



Bellevue detectives arrested 25-year-old DeShaun Nabors at his Puyallup in connection with the armed robbery of the Bellevue Chipotle restaurant at Crossroads Mall on October 27, 2019. Detectives say Nabors was identified by restaurant management as a former Chipotle employee. Surveillance allowed investigators to put Nabors and his girlfriend’s car in the area of the Chipotle restaurant at the time of the robbery.
A search warrant on the home produced among other things a gun, coin wrappers and a blue glove, like the gloves Nabors used in the robbery. Detectives say Nabors is a suspect in at least two other similar robberies and are working together with those jurisdictions.
