On September 1, 2025, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) Patrol Division responded to a reported vehicle burglary at the Hunter Creek Trailhead (4705 Woodchuck Circle, Reno, Nevada).
The reporting party had been alerted by their credit card company to fraudulent charges. Upon returning to their vehicle, they discovered the passenger-side window broken and two bags missing. The stolen items included two computers, AirPods, credit cards, and other personal property.
