Camas-Washougal police say they solved a series of burglaries this week thanks to footprints in freshly fallen snow. 

The burglaries began Dec. 16, after two suspects smashed a window at the E Street Market in Washougal, entered the building and stole tobacco and e-cigarette merchandise. The suspects returned to the market again on Dec. 21. Like the first incident, the suspects entered the building by breaking a window and stole tobacco products.
