Crime Stoppers 'Crime of the Week'

Authorities are seeking help solving a theft taking place earlier this month in the Salkum area.

Sometime between March 5 and 6, an unknown number of suspects entered a rock quarry on the 200 block of Winston Creek Rd., east of Salkum, and stole more than 1,200 feet of electrical wire and a 1995 box van. The van was later recovered, but the wire was not. The estimated loss is more than $20,000.
