An arrest warrant has been issued for a Vancouver man accused of stealing a car and striking the owner with it Tuesday in the Minnehaha area.
The Auburn Police Department contacted the Clark County Sheriff’s Office on Friday about recovering a stolen red 2010 Toyota Camry. Auburn police officers took a man into custody on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
The suspect, identified as Ttong John, was booked into the King County Jail.
Clark County detectives interviewed John and developed probable cause to arrest him on suspicion of first-degree robbery and hit-and-run resulting in injury, in connection with the Tuesday incident. An arrest warrant was issued, and John will be extradited to Clark County, the news release states.
“The Clark County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank members of the Auburn Police Department for their assistance with the investigation and are appreciative of our statewide law enforcement partnerships,” the agency said.
