An estimated $2,000 in food was taken in the burglary and located in the vehicle
On Christmas Eve morning, a Camas Police Department officer was headed to a burglary at a business in the 4100 block of NW Camas Meadows Drive.
While enroute to the call, the officer noticed a disabled vehicle blocking a lane of travel in the 100 block of SE 192nd Avenue; two Vancouver Police Department units were stopped with the vehicle.
The Camas Police Department officer recognized this vehicle as similar to the description of a suspect vehicle involved in an attempted burglary two days prior at the same business where the burglary call was pending. The officer suspected this vehicle was possibly involved in the Christmas Eve burglary as well.
After coordinating with the Vancouver Police Department officers and the manager of the business, the Camas officer was able to determine the people in the disabled vehicle were involved in the burglary. The vehicle had run out of gas after they left the scene of the crime.
An estimated $2,000 in food was taken in the burglary and located in the vehicle. Items taken included boxes of seafood, frozen cuts of meat, sausage patties, and french fries.
James Bailey, 51, and 37-year-old Camille Parayo were arrested and booked on charges of Attempted Burglary for the incident on December 22, and Burglary in the 2nd Degree and Theft in the 3rd Degree from the incident on Christmas Eve.
“When our businesses are targeted for burglaries, it has negative impacts for the business owners and drives up prices for consumers,” said Chief Tina Jones. “This capture is the result of good old-fashioned police work and coordination with our Vancouver Police Department partners. Once again, our team members apprehended some Christmas Eve grinches and I am proud of their efforts.”
