Description of suspicious vehicle:
White Chevy older full size van - license plate WA: B80647B
This vehicle may or not be associated with recent break-ins. Victims have been informed of a white older "work style" van in the area at the time their home was burglarized. It has been reported on at least two burglaries, October 08, 2009, and February 13, 2009, that an older white van was seen in the immediate area.
Other similarities:
- Break-ins happen between 1:00 and 2:00 PM
- Back window or door is broken to gain access.
- Game systems and games are common stolen items.
On Wednesday, 2/18/08, the above van was seen pulling into the driveways of the victim burglarized on Feb 13, 2009, and the adjacent house. Two people were inside. There were vehicles in the two homeowners driveways. The occupants were seen looking around at the two houses, and the passenger door appeared to open when the homeowner stepped outside. The van abruptly left the property. The van had pulled deep into the driveways. Upon abruptly leaving, the van continued in the same direction (north on 3rd), thus, was clearly not a simple turnaround.
Please keep your eyes open for any unusual activity in the coming months. There have been at least four home burglaries between October 2008 and Feb 2009 involving "back of the home" break-ins and theft of game systems.
Remember to report any suspicious activity by calling 9-1-1! If you see the above van, please note where and when in the event this vehicle is associated with the ongoing crimes in our neighborhoods.
