After suspicious activity at the marina, officers found a man who fled and later went to kidnap his young nephew, according to recent Gig Harbor police ...

The manager told the officer she saw them go through an employee door to a hallway that leads to an emergency exit that doesn’t have cameras. A Gig Harbor officer responded to a wreck around 11 p.m. An hour later a different officer was dispatched to a shoplift at Famous Footwear, 5151 Borgen Blvd. The manager followed them out the emergency exit as she called 911. The burglary call turned out to be an employee error with the alarm system. She told the officer her son has mental health issues and that they’re in the process of seeking help. As they waited for the mother, officers received a burglary alarm call from a local business. The child wasn’t hurt. They said they ditched the shopping cart at Walgreens because the manager was following them and told them she was going to call the police, according to the report. She said her son got into a wreck nearby. The suspects went around the side of the building and she lost them, according to the report. An officer arrived and saw the 57-year-old man tying the sailboat to the dock.
