Newspaper Theif

At the NW meeting an issue was brought up about someone stealing Washington Post newspapers. For the past 3+ years, Monday through Friday, a man has been targeting Greenwood residents and stealing their newspapers. The woman who delivers the papers has confronted the person and he ran off into the woods, but it did not deter him. Based on her description, he is a thin white man with very curly hair and is approximately 5'7" or 5'8". He is always on foot and usually wearing blue jeans and a light blue jacket when the weather is cool. He targets homes between 5:00am - 6:30am, Monday through Friday. He focuses on streets past the stops sign on Seatrend , primarily Dakine, Debra Lu Way, Simmer Circle & Levi Ct .
