The suspect was last seen running into the woods north of the Tele-Tech building. One deputy found the 18-year-old man coming out of a wooded area carrying a black backpack. The man admitted to stealing the webcam so he could sell it for cash and said he threw the camera in some bushes while running away from the store. The webcam was valued at about $75.

The man was taken to Kitsap County jail for investigation of selling stolen property and theft.
