Car Prowl at Bonney Lake Collision

An officer responded to trespass and vehicle prowl report at Bonney Lake Collision. The caller said he went to the maintenance shop to retrieve some items out of his Honda Civic that he left in the car because he couldn’t get his trunk open when he brought the car in.

He found that his subwoofers, stereo system and custom parts had been stolen in the shop overnight. In all, the stolen items were valued at over $1300.

The manager of Bonney Lake Collision told police that when he came in that morning, the man’s car door was open. He observed the items were missing and saw a pair of pants and pliers lying on the ground. He then saw a large opening in the fence, where someone had moved the landscaping rocks and crawled under it. The manager told BLPD he viewed the security tapes and didn’t see anyone enter the premises.

Since there was no suspect, police recommended the case be suspended.
