Thief steals loaded gun from a Pasco car. The owner let it happen again

Vehicle prowlers won’t leave a Pasco gun owner alone.

Pasco police wrote on Facebook that the city has been stung by a series of vehicle prowls during the past couple of weeks.

Many of the victims are leaving their doors unlocked.

In one of the recent cases, thieves stole a loaded handgun from an unlocked car.

Pasco police said it was the second time the owner had left a loaded gun in their car and had it stolen.

A public information officer said he did not have details on the thefts.

Kennewick police also had a gun-related car prowl this past weekend.

Police booked Brandon Disch, 24, Saturday on suspicion of theft of a firearm. The stolen Glock pistol was recovered.

“Please if you must keep a firearm or other valuable in your car, lock it up,” Pasco police said. “Better yet, do not leave them in your vehicle.”
