25 arrested in retail theft mission near Clackamas Town Center
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office announced that they made 25 arrests and recovered $4,700 in stolen merchandise on Thursday in a retail theft mission.
The mission focused on retail stores at the Clackamas Promenade on SE Sunnyside Road across from Clackamas Town Center, including Target, Old Navy, Kohl’s and Nordstrom’s Rack.
"Among those arrested was a juvenile found in possession of a handgun during a theft-related arrest. Investigators also developed information about an active fencing operation involving a suspect who admitted stealing multiple items for the purpose of resale to this fencing operation. A prolific organized retail theft suspect was also taken into custody on multiple outstanding warrants and was found to have committed a large-scale theft at Washington Square Mall in Tigard earlier that same day. Lastly, a woman was arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants after stealing from Target and returning to her vehicle, where deputies conducted a traffic stop," CCSO said.
Law enforcement officers from the Molalla Police Department, Oregon City Police Department, Portland Police Bureau, and West Linn Police Department assisted with the mission.
