Do you know these people? Vancouver Police are trying to return their camera to them | Community Spirit

VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Returning a camera to its rightful owner seems like an easy process. That hasn't been the case for the Vancouver Police Department, though.

On Aug. 30, 2011, Vancouver Police responded to a vehicle prowl call in which two people were ultimately arrested. Inside the vehicle, officers found numerous items which were determined to be stolen property. One of the items was a digital camera that contained approximately 1,000 photos. The photos appear to be family gatherings, family and friend photos and some scenic landscapes. Based on the photos, police said it appeared several were taken around Vancouver and some of the photos date back at least one year.

The Vancouver Police Department Evidence unit has held the camera since its discovery and has not yet located the owner of the camera. Police have released three photos with the hope someone will be able to identify people in the photo so police can return the once-stolen camera.

The owner of the camera should contact the Vancouver Police Department Evidence unit at 360-487-7404 and provide identifying information related to the camera and reference case number V11-15640.
