SEQUIM — Clallam County sheriff’s deputies were seeking Anthony Robert Forshaw on Tuesday for investigation of multiple burglaries, auto thefts and vehicle prowls north of Sequim.

The 28-year-old is described as a 5-foot-10, 150-pound white male with brown hair and brown eyes.

He should be considered armed and dangerous, Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. John Keegan said.

Anyone who sees Forshaw is asked to phone 9-1-1.

The alleged crimes occurred recently in the SunLand, Woodland Heights and 3 Crabs neighborhoods north of Sequim, Keegan said.

Forshaw allegedly gained entry into four unlocked vehicles that had keys left inside.

“The Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone to lock their vehicles, residences and outbuildings,” Keegan said in a news release.

Three of the stolen vehicles have been recovered.

Vehicle missing

One vehicle is still missing: a white 2005 Buick LaCrosse four-door with the Washington state license plate AJN-5555.

Several rifles and handguns were taken during the alleged burglaries.

Keegan in a telephone interview said Forshaw is a known heroin and methamphetamine user who absconded from drug treatment in Seattle on or about July 20.

Forshaw is believed to be living in the woods near Sequim but has also been seen in Forks, Keegan said.

The alleged crimes occurred Aug. 8, Aug. 11 and last Thursday in the SunLand and Woodland Heights neighborhoods.

Forshaw is also a suspect in an alleged auto theft that occurred Monday night in the 3 Crabs area, Keegan said.
