Authorities in Grant County are seeking the community’s help in finding the owner of a motorcycle.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office has stated that the motorcycle owner is not a suspect in any crimes but may have inadvertently witnessed a crime that occurred at two local businesses last summer.

According to investigators, both incidents occurred in the 8000 block of Valley Road Northeast in Moses Lake, with one taking place at a Dollar General store and the other at the nearby Cascade Grocery. A suspect in both cases is currently in custody.

Detectives have provided a photograph of a maroon-colored Harley Davidson motorcycle in hopes that someone might recognize it and be able to reach out to its owner.

If you have any information regarding the motorcycle or its owner, please contact Sheriff’s Detective Katrina Ball at 509-237-3384.
