An investigation was completed by the Camas Police Investigations Unit on a Christmas morning car theft and prowl incident, which identified 23-year-old Jorge Reyes Ayala as the individual responsible for multiple thefts that occurred in the city of Camas on Christmas morning (Dec. 25, 2024).
On Wednesday (June 11), detectives contacted Reyes Ayala at the Clark County Corrections Center and charged him with Auto Theft, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, nine counts of Vehicle Prowl in the 2nd Degree, and Theft in the 3rd Degree.
On Christmas morning, several vehicles were prowled, and a vehicle was stolen from the Woodburn Neighborhood. The crimes occurred between 8:30-9:30 a.m. when many families were celebrating the holiday.
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.
Camas Police remind area residents to remember to remove items from vehicles, secure vehicles by locking them and removing keys, and reporting any activity where it appears as if unfamiliar individuals are trying to access vehicles.
