Eureka Police are investigating the theft of $1,200 in military-themed hats and other items from an RV parked outside a business in the 300 block of Cahoon Drive. The theft occurred between about 2-6 p.m. Sept. 2, Eureka Police reported.
A 74-year-old man told police he had locked the RV when he went into his place of business, and when he returned, he found the door to the RV open. Pry marks were found on the door and the vehicle’s outside compartments, the report said.
