The Port Townsend Police Department responded to a total of 182 calls from Feb. 28 through March 6. Officers conducted 30 traffic stops and made one DUI arrest. Calls such as domestic violence and suicides are left out of the call log, so as to not retraumatize victims and loved ones. 

Feb. 28: Two Trek bicycles were stolen from a porch near the 1700 block of Gise Street.

March 1: A power grid issue caused multiple problems downtown, including causing the lights at Taylor and Water streets not to work, an elevator in an apartment to stop functioning, and several alarm calls and reports of power outages.

• After a theft at a local grocery store, officers located the vehicle involved, and made warrant arrests, and arrests for a minor in possession. 

March 2: Officers were called to a local restaurant, where a bag of suspected methamphetamine was found in a bathroom. The meth has been safely stored, and if you believe it belongs to you, please contact the Port Townsend Police Department.

March 3: Officers responded to a reported shoplifting at a local grocery store. Suspects used self-checkout, and only scanned some of the items in their cart. Video, photos and a vehicle license were obtained, so the suspects should expect an arrest to be made.
