One Man Could Face 8 Charges Related to Redmond Car Prowls

REDMOND, WA - Police arrested a man last week who was allegedly found sitting inside a pickup truck that wasn't his, and now he could face up to eight charges related to car prowls in the area.

A woman on her way to work called police last Wednesday near 8 a.m. to report a suspicious person trying car door handles in the vicinity of 149th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 75th Street, just west of downtown. When police arrived, they found a 20-year-old Auburn man sitting in a truck.

Police say he "readily admitted" to breaking into cars in that area.

He was arrested on a Federal Way warrant for possession of a dangerous weapon, and for a King County warrant for possession of a stolen firearm and stolen vehicle.

Redmond police are still investigating, but they say they may recommend the man be charged for eight car prowls in the city.
