A 30-year-old King County resident is in custody at the Grays Harbor County Jail this morning after a dangerous crime spree in the West end of Aberdeen yesterday. Around 7:23 AM, Aberdeen Officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the 2700 block of Simpson Avenue. A vehicle was missing a license plate and the occupant was acting suspicious. Aberdeen officers arrived moments later and the suspect left before police arrived. The vehicle returned to a residence in Renton and Aberdeen Officers requested they attempt to contact the owner to determine if they knew where the car was.

Just after 3:00 a.m. this morning Hoquiam Police and Fire personnel were dispatched to a report of a collision near Lincoln Street and Queen Avenue, with a vehicle on fire.  Upon officers’ arrival, they found a mid-90’s Ford Ranger pick-up fully engulfed in flames.  It was determined there had not been a collision, just a vehicle fire.  Responding Hoquiam Fire Department units extinguished the stubborn fire.
