Tonight in #GigHarbor : Man steals from store and runs. Manager chases. Thief flags down tow truck for ride. Tells driver of theft. Driver makes him get out. Thief runs into YMCA, strips down to boxers, and hides in sauna. GHPD arrests him there. #HotPursuit

Can’t make this stuff up: Woman appearing in #GigHarbor court today on a theft charge. During a break in court, she goes to local store and steals. She flees – back to her court date where she is taken into custody on the new theft. En route to jail now.

Yesterday, someone broke into a car and stole a young girl's backpack which contained her Valentine's Day cards and gifts. A few of our officers pooled together and bought her a new backpack, candy and gifts. Officer Daniel delivered them to her at school today. #GigHarbor

Recent law changes that prohibit the use of reasonable force to detain someone fleeing from a suspected crime, the softening of our drug and pursuit laws, and criminals who are set free due to COVID-related booking restrictions at the jail all play a part in this surge in crime.
