Car prowler hits several vehicles overnight in Washougal

Police are looking for a car prowler who rummaged through several vehicles early Tuesday morning in Washougal.

Five residents on F, G and K streets reported that someone had gotten into their cars and picked through their belongings overnight. A number of items were reported missing, including several cellphone chargers, loose change and a $175 Samsung tablet.

Surveillance video from a camera mounted on a home nearby shows a white male casually entering the cars sometime between midnight and 6 a.m., Det. Kate Tierney said. All the cars had been left unlocked, Tierney said.

“So, he was just able to open the doors,” she said. “I don’t have any damage to vehicles.”

Police haven’t had any other recent reports of car prowlers in the area, and they don’t have any leads at this point, Tierney said. They estimate the prowler is in his late teens or early twenties, and the video shows him carrying a dark backpack and wearing a baseball hat.

Investigators ask anyone with information on the incidents to contact Sgt. Geoff Reijonen with the Washougal Police Department at 360-835-8701.
