INFORMATION RELEASE

Sometime between October 17th and October 20th, 2014, someone took a 1992 Toyota mini-van, gray in color and with a hatchback, from in front of a storage unit on Brandy Lane. The vehicle was found in the Fred Meyer parking lot by a Juneau Police Department Community Service Officer on October 21, at about 2:00 in the afternoon.

The discovery may have caused the suspect to abandon the vehicle before he or she planned. There was a great deal of personal property in the vehicle that either belonged to the suspect or was stolen in other incidents. One such item is a worn men?s extra- large black leather jacket which was collected along with other clothing.

You can see a picture of this jacket on the JPD Facebook Page.

This suspect is also likely to be associated with drug use as multiple syringes were found in the vehicle. Officers have collected fingerprints and DNA, which are being analyzed. The case is of particular interest to JPD as there have been multiple recent thefts in the area around Industrial Boulevard. These crimes may all be associated with one person or a small group of individuals.
