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.
