On Thursday, November 9, 2023, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office led a retail theft operation at multiple retailers in the area of SE 82nd Avenue and SE Sunnyside Road.
The 10-hour operation resulted in the arrests of 28 people on multiple charges and the recovery of more than $5,000 in stolen merchandise and a stolen vehicle. Deputies were also able to clear more than 20 arrest warrants, and make arrests on charges of Theft II, Theft III, Criminal Trespass, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle, and Identity Theft.
The Sheriff’s Office worked closely with security at the Clackamas Town Center as well as loss prevention officers at participating retailers, including Target, Kohl’s, REI, Barnes and Noble, JCPenney, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sephora.
The all-day mission included Clackamas County Sheriff’s deputies and detectives, as well as several of our partner agencies including the Milwaukie Police Department, Molalla Police Department, Oregon City Police Department, West Linn Police Department, and the Beaverton Police Department.
