Car Prowl Case Update: Do you Recognize These Items?
The St. Helens Police Department is continuing its investigation into a series of thefts from vehicles which occurred on or about November 28, 2021, in several St. Helens residential neighborhoods. St. Helens officers have successfully recovered items that may be related to these car prowls.
If you are the owner of any of the items pictured in this post, please contact the St. Helens Police Department at 503-397-1521 as soon as possible. While these items may not have significant monetary value, the successful identification of where the items came from and to whom they belong will aid in our ongoing investigation.
On Sunday, November 28, 2021, at approximately 4:14 a.m., St. Helens Police responded to a suspicious vehicle report in the area of Edna Barr Lane. The reporting party told police that five suspects had exited a white SUV and proceeded to test vehicle door handles in the neighborhood. Officers conducted an area search but were unable to locate the suspects or the vehicle. St. Helens police continued to receive theft reports over the same weekend from the Elk Meadows neighborhood, Parkwood neighborhood, Crestwood Village, Noble Road neighborhood, and Charming Way neighborhood. The car prowls and thefts are all believed to be related to the same group of suspects. Based on the current investigation, it appears that some of the suspects came from the Portland area.
The investigation is ongoing, and we are still working to determine suspect identities. If you recognize any of the items pictured in this post, please contact St. Helens investigators at 503-397-1521.
