The following is from a post on the Goldendale Police Departments Facebook page:
Recently there has been a spike in vehicle prowls in Klickitat County and the Columbia Gorge as a whole. Fortunately, as of the the writing of this post Goldendale has not been part of that spike. However, we want to take this time and remind people to please keep your cars locked, and to not store any valuable items in them. As always please report any suspicious activity you see in your neighborhood.
