Retired MRPD Chief's Discussion

The lookout for the Ford F150 truck listed below is cancelled. Further investigation has revealed that it is not involved in our recent burglaries. Thanks to all who responded!

The Mount Rainier Police Department is currently interested in questioning the operator of a white Ford pickup truck possibly involved in a rash of burglaries that have occurred in the City since the beginning of December 2006. The pickup truck is described as having tool boxes installed in the bed. The following two pictures give a general idea of the color and style of the truck and how the tool boxes would look. Anyone seeing this type of vehicle driving or parked in the City is asked to call the MRPD Communications Center at 301-985-6565 or 6566.

The neighborhood watch meeting scheduled for tomorrow night (2/15) has been cancelled. In fact, it really never was. The meeting I thought was for NW is really a meeting of the Mount Rainier Day Committee. The NW meeting will be rescheduled for sometime in the near future. My apologies for the confusion. I’m certain though, that the MR Day Committee can use all the help it can get in preparing for this year’s festivities. If you can help in any way, please come out and volunteer your services.
