A retail theft mission this week resulted in multiple arrests and the recovery of thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise.

On December 21, 2023, North Precinct officers, with the assistance of partners, conducted a retail theft mission. Law enforcement personnel focused on businesses in Jantzen Beach Center and Hayden Meadows Square in North Portland. The mission resulted in the arrests of nine people.

Additionally, one stolen vehicle was recovered and approximately $3,000 in stolen merchandise was recovered.

This week’s mission is one of many retail theft missions conducted by the Portland Police Bureau since the start of the year. The missions have culminated in dozens upon dozens of arrests. In many cases, these individuals are involved in criminal activity that extends far beyond retail theft. Therefore, the apprehensions go a long way in improving livability across the area.

These retail theft missions will continue for the foreseeable future in order to deter retail theft and other crimes across Portland.
