PORT ANGELES — Three car prowls and a stolen kayak were reported in a Port Angeles neighborhood, and city police are reminding the public to keep doors locked and to report suspicious activity.
Car prowls were reported in the 1300 block of East Seventh Street between Ennis and Liberty streets near Peninsula College early Saturday morning, Deputy Police Chief Brian Smith said.
A kayak was reported as stolen from a vehicle parked outside a nearby residence on South Chambers Street.
Anyone with private video surveillance in the neighborhood is asked to notify authorities.
“We’re particularly interesting in anybody observing a pickup truck,” Smith said.
The reported thefts are a good reminder to lock doors on homes, cars and garages, Smith said.
“Property crime is one of our biggest challenges,” Smith said Monday.
“We think a lot of property crime is fueled by drug activity.”
