Newcastle Police arrested a car prowler the morning of March 4 for possession of stolen property. Most of the stolen property in the man’s possession was linked to car prowls that had been committed several hours earlier in the Olympus and Highlands neighborhoods.

Also among the items police found in the man’s possession was a unique purse, but the owner of the purse has not been identified.

If your car was broken into the night of March 3-4 and you have not filled out a police report, do so by calling police at 206-296-3311.
