The crimes occurred between 8:30-9:30 a.m. when many families were celebrating the holiday
On Christmas Day (Dec. 25), several vehicles were prowled, and a vehicle was stolen from the Woodburn Neighborhood in Camas.
The crimes occurred between 8:30-9:30 a.m. 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.
If anyone sees the stolen vehicle and it is occupied, call 9-1-1. If anyone sees the vehicles and it is not occupied, call the non-emergency dispatch number at 3-1-1. If anyone has tips or information about the identity of the involved suspect, email Officer Tim Fellows at tfellows@cityofcamas.us.
The Camas Police Department is investigating several more reported vehicle prowls (where items were stolen from vehicles) in the same area since the original release. The team is exploring whether these vehicle prowls are related to the crime spree Christmas Day. A trend has been identified with vehicles that were unlocked and targeted.
The Camas Police Department reminds area residents 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.
