PORT ANGELES – The Port Angeles Police Department is actively investigating numerous cases of mail theft, many of which appear to have been perpetrated by the same person.
Police are circulating a grainy security camera photo taken at night of a suspect who they believe operates late in the evening and early morning hours, targets mailboxes without locks and steals packages left on front porches. He/she drives what’s described as a smaller vehicle with a loud muffler and has been seen on several video clips wearing rain gear and a face covering.
They’re seeking the public’s help for information on the suspect or the vehicle. They’d like folks to call PenCom at (360) 452-4545 and ask to speak to Officer Mike Johnson, or an on-duty officer if Officer Johnson is not available, if you have any information.
On the other hand, if you see someone who appears to be tampering with mailboxes or a suspect criminally trespassing onto residential porches, call 9-1-1.
