An investigation conducted by Redmond Police Department’s Pro-Act Unit recently concluded with three suspects charged, clearing more than 40 car-prowl cases and eight package theft cases in King and Snohomish counties.

Ryan Neely, 36, Leslie Del Rosario, 31, and John Dettwiller, 30, were charged with multiple counts of identity theft and vehicle prowling, according to Redmond Police.

The Pro-Act Unit, which specializes in cases related to auto theft, vehicle prowl, possession of stolen property, burglary, identity theft and fraud, began investigating a series of day care center vehicle prowls in October 2013. Victims would enter the facilities to pick up their children and return to find smashed windows and their purses stolen.

Seven of the cases involved Redmond victims.

Pro-Act and patrol units were able to identify Del Rosario and her vehicle from surveillance videos, which showed fraudulent transactions being made using victims’ credit cards.

On Jan. 29, 2014, Redmond Police’s Pro-Act, patrol, detectives and SWAT team members served a search warrant in the Greenwood area of Seattle, where the three individuals were taken into custody. Stolen property was recovered from inside the residence and vehicle.

Following a plea bargain agreement with the King County Prosecutor’s Office, Del Rosario was convicted of four counts of identity theft in the second degree and two counts of vehicle prowling in the second degree; she was sentenced to two years and a one-day drug offender sentencing alternative.

Neely, who pled guilty to identity theft in the first degree and vehicle prowling in the second degree, was sentenced to one year.

Dettwiller, who pled guilty to three counts of identity theft in the first degree, identity theft in the second degree and vehicle prowling in the second degree, was sentenced to one and a half years in prison.
