Kennewick police have identified two suspects wanted in connection with the early-morning burglary at Hubby’s Pizza last month.
Andres Medina-Garcia, 20, and David Semenyuk, 18, are suspected of ramming a stolen SUV through the wall of the longtime pizza shop on Oct. 16, creating a hole large enough to walk through and drag an ATM into the parking lot.
Police believe the two then fled, leaving behind the damaged ATM.
Charges have not been filed in the case but Semenyuk and Medina-Garcia are wanted for outstanding felony warrants for unrelated crimes, according to police and court records.
Semenyuk has been arrested six times in the past two years in Benton and Franklin counties. He’s been convicted in juvenile court on four of those cases and has another pending for possession of a stolen vehicle from Oct. 27.
Andres Medina-Garcia has a pending Superior Court case for residential burglary from July and a 2024 conviction for second-degree burglary, court records show.
“We are urging David Semenyuk and Andres Medina to turn themselves in,” Kennewick police wrote in a Wednesday post to Facebook. “Until that happens, we are asking the community to help us locate them... Let’s continue to support our business community by reminding those who victimize it (that) you will be apprehended and held accountable.”
Anyone with information about their whereabouts are asked to contact non-emergency dispatch at 509-628-0333 or to submit at tip at kpdtips.com.
The nearly 50-year-old pizza business at 346 West Columbia Drive was able to partially reopen the day after the break in, after structural engineers reviewed the damage and confirmed it was safe to occupy. Their dine-in space has been limited because of the damage.
“The owners expressed deep frustration, noting the building’s iconic status and the emotional toll of seeing it damaged, even with repairs underway. In true Kennewick fashion the community stepped up to support Hubby’s Pizza,” wrote Kennewick police.
