GHPD Seeks Info On Suspects From Separate, Unrelated Cases

GIG HARBOR, WA — Gig Harbor police on Friday used Facebook to request help from the community in identifying suspects from two separate and unrelated incidents that occurred recently.

Post One:

On the evening of June 2, a man reportedly asked a fast food restaurant employee for help jumpstarting his white Volkswagen GTI. Agreeing to assist, the employee borrowed jumper cables from a co-worker and went about jumping the suspect's vehicle.

After getting the suspect's vehicle started, the employee went to put the jump cables back in the restaurant. While she was away, the suspect got into the employee's car and took her cell phone.

According to police, the suspect identified himself as "Jay" and said he recently moved to the area from California.

Post Two:

A black man and white woman are suspected of forgery, vehicle burglaries, and a possible vehicle theft, police said. Anyone who can help identify the pair — based specifically on their clothing — is encouraged to contact the police department.

In images shared by police, the woman is reportedly wearing a white Adidas sweatshirt with black lettering and a cross necklace. The man is shown wearing a green hoodie, blue jeans, and red shoes.

Anyone who recognizes the suspects from either incident or has information that could assist either investigation is asked to call Gig Harbor police Det. Federici at 253-853-2421; reference cases 19-153-01849 (for Post One) or 19-147-00445 (for Post Two).
