The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received 263 calls for service between Saturday, April 15 and Friday, April 21. Below are selected reports.

At 2:27 p.m. Sunday, April 16 in Quilcene, a suspicious vehicle was reported. The caller said the car had a license plate from Colorado, and had been parked next to the caller’s home since the previous day. No one had been seen near the vehicle.

A deputy determined the vehicle belonged to a neighbor. It had been to a Toyota service center and the owner could not pick it up. The service center, as a courtesy, delivered the vehicle to the owner but dropped it off at the wrong address.

The owner was contacted to come get the vehicle.

At 5:26 p.m. Sunday, April 16 in Brinnon, a caller reported a possible burglary in the neighborhood. A gate to the property was found open and a door to the home was also found open.

The caller reported the residence was a vacation home and the owners were away.

A deputy responded and it was determined that sometime between noon and 1 p.m. the gate was opened and the doors on the house were forced open. 

One door and frame were damaged to the point the door could not be locked.

The deputy discovered the outhouse had also been forced open, and the intruder busted open a door to a laundry room. The cupboards in the residence were all open.

It was initially unknown the full extent of the loss, but a Green Mountain pellet smoker was missing along with a Blackstone grill.

Further investigation indicated a suspect vehicle used in the burglary, and the vehicle had been reported stolen within the previous 48 hours in Longview, Cowlitz County.

Authorities in Mason County were contacted and provided with video, including information on the truck and trailer traced to the burglary, as well as a passenger in the vehicle.
