The government-owned vehicle was broken into at a parking garage at Burwell and Pacific, and four folders of veterans' information and a government cell phone were taken, the veterans' affairs office said. Bremerton police is investigating the car theft and the veterans office "is taking aggressive steps to protect and assist those who may be potentially affected," according to a press release. Letters are being sent to the veterans which include information about obtaining a free credit check.
