YAVAPAI SILENT WITNESS AND THE PRESCOTT VALLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO ASK PUBLIC’S HELP TO IDENTIFY SUSPECT(S) INVOLVED IN SERIES OF CRIMES THAT OCCURRED DURING EASTER WEEKEND.
Yavapai Silent Witness is now offering a $40,000 reward for information leading the arrest of the suspect or suspect(s) that are responsible for series of crimes that occurred in Prescott Valley over the Easter weekend. Western News & Info and Prescott Newspaper INC. owned by the Soldwedel family has graciously donated and additional $5000.00 to help resolve these cases.
Between Friday, March 29, 2024, and Sunday, March 31, 2024 the suspect, or suspects, entered Bradshaw Mountain High School and committed extensive criminal damage to a building on campus, the football field, and the track, causing more than $60,000 in damages.
On Monday, April 1, 2024, at approximately 1:15 a.m., Prescott Valley Police officers responded to a report of a fire at the Legado apartment complex. The fire destroyed the under-construction Legado Apartments, causing $60 million in damages.
On Thursday, April 4, officers responded to a fire alarm at Bradshaw Mountain High School and police observed that the school had been broken into and discovered extensive damage to the interior of the buildings.
During the two Bradshaw Mountain High School crimes, the suspect involved was observed via surveillance equipment wearing all black clothes, a facemask/gas mask, gloves, and boots. The subject appeared to be wearing a headlamp and some sort of Go-Pro style camera on which they likely recorded their activities.
A joint task force has been formed, comprised of Prescott Valley Police Department, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, the Yavapai County Attorney’s Investigators Office, the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority Fire Marshal and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) National Response Team.
