Pot Thief Crashes Mini-Van Into Home, Flees on Foot

Fortunately, no one was injured. But Pasco police are searching for the driver of this mini van, because they had a close encounter with this home, and had obviously stolen pot sitting in their back seat.

Early Thursday morning, officers were called to this home near 20th and Yakima. Actually they got witness reports of TWO vehicles driving recklessly and speeding in the neighborhood, but this one lost control and slammed into the home.

Fortunately, no one in the home was hurt, but the driver fled on foot. Police say it's obvious this person(s) had stolen some home-grown pot, based upon the nature of the plants in the back seat. (full plants, roots and all!)

Anyone with any information is urged to call (509)-628-0333.  Of course police are checking tabs, VIN number and more on vehicle, but that doesn't always lead to the perp. The investigation continues.
