A truck owned by an elderly person with cancer has been recovered after it was stolen in Port Angeles, the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.
Deputies were alerted by the Aberdeen Police Department, via its flock camera system, to a stolen vehicle from Port Angeles traveling through Aberdeen. Deputies responded to the area and eventually found the truck at a nearby business.
“Deputy Eaton contacted the driver of the vehicle, who was identified as a 39-year-old male from Port Angeles,” the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office stated. “Deputy Eaton was able to contact the owner of the vehicle and learned that the vehicle had been stolen from a Port Angeles DSHS office after being left at the location by the elderly owner who had traveled out of the area to receive cancer treatments.”
While inspecting the truck, deputies found several items from a Forks business that had recently been burglarized.
The suspect was booked into the Grays Harbor County jail for possession of a stolen motor vehicle. The burglary remains under investigation.
“Grays Harbor deputies will continue to follow up on the burglary in Forks to determine if the suspect was involved,” the department stated. “He may be facing additional charges.”
