GRINCH STEALS VEHICLE AND PROWLS SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES ON CHRISTMAS MORNING - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND CORRECTED LICENSE PLATE
On December 25, 2024, several vehicles were prowled, and a vehicle was stolen from the Woodburn Neighborhood. The crimes occurred between 8:30-9:30 in the morning when many families were celebrating the holiday and children were enjoying the presents Santa had delivered in the night.
A dark gray Mazda CX3 with Washington license plate BSD5166 was stolen by the suspect, then used to drive around the neighborhood to prowl other vehicles. The suspect stole a variety of items from seven vehicles including garage door openers, a gift card, cash, and a cell phone.
The suspect was wearing a dark colored beanie, black hooded sweatshirt with white stripes on the shoulders and arms, light gray pants, and bright orange or red shoes with black laces.
