Since the end of January 2021, the new Kennewick Fire Station in west Kennewick has been burglarized three times. Thousands of dollars in tools have been stolen. The Kennewick Police Department Criminal Investigation Division has been investigating the burglaries. During the investigation, it was discovered that some of those stolen tools were being sold on social media platforms. The investigation led to the arrest of Zackery Adams (25).
