WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Hit-run; prowler/peeper

| Crime | West Seattle news

Two reports in West Seattle Crime Watch:

HIT-RUN: Sent by Maggie late last night:

At 9:40 pm on SW Oregon St., between 41st & 42nd Ave SW, a silver, late-model truck with a canopy, possibly a Toyota Tundra, heading east on Oregon, was responsible for a hit and run, with damage to three parked cars, two with severe damage.

Police tell us he went on to hit another car and again, fled the scene.

He was last seen near the 7-11 on California, driving south. If you have any information about this vehicle or have video of the incidents, please contact SPD Officer Hernandez 8022 / 206-733-9800. Incident # 2025-319777. We would appreciate the public’s help with this. He hit our cars with such force, two likely are totaled.

PROWLER/PEEPER: This report with two videos were sent by SB:

I thought it would benefit the community to post about an incident that happened in an apartment building to hopefully keep others safe and possibly identify the culprit. There was a prowler/peeping tom that trespassed onto the property and was looking into windows and did so for a good 10-15 minutes. Please see the attachments for some video footage. I have a couple more of him doing this back and forth during that time frame. This happened on October 27th around 9 pm about 3 blocks north of the Admiral Junction in West Seattle. The police were called and responded quickly but just missed him.

We don’t have an incident number for this yet.

I had an issue with this person in 2023 in Alki, he was relentless for months. I filled police reports, with video footage but nothing was pursued. Put up cameras and additional locks due to his presence. Keep an eye out

He is parked on sw dakota street. Pretty sure that is his truck.

Thanks so much for this tip. I checked it out but it’s not the truck. The older model silver/gray truck with a dark cab over the back has substantial damage to the passenger side, front of truck. Please keep an eye out. It was likely abandoned. Stay safe, neighbors!

  That truck parked there has major damage to the passenger side. It was not wrecked yesterday morning.

Looks more like a 90s Chevy Blazer / GMC Yukon 1500, not a Toyota.

Looks like a Tundra to me. The seams on the roof distinguish the cab from the canopy so it’s a pickup. The Blazer and Yukon are different vehicles and they are SUVs. Blazer and Jimmy are the same body and Yukon and Suburban are the same vehicle.

  2 door, 1500 (aka, half ton with 5.7 V8)

    Ah ok. When you said 90s I thought of the next generation. Regardless, the offending vehicle appears to be a Tundra.

That has to be the truck that did the damage. Look at Wikipedia- the 2005 blue Tundra 4 door looks just like the back of the truck in the surveillance capture. And look at the right front wheel- in the surveilance cap it’s facing the same way as it is in the parked truck photo. Match! Good job, S.P.- did you call it in?
