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

On February 8, 2024, North Precinct officers conducted a retail theft mission in the Hollywood and Lloyd Districts. The mission resulted in 13 arrests, 10 traffic/subject stops, 2 stolen vehicle recovers, and 14 warrants served. Officers arrested two subjects on multiple felony warrants and charges related to stolen vehicles, reckless driving, reckless endangering, eluding police on foot, failure to perform the duties of a driver and felony criminal mischief. Others were arrested on theft charges.

This week’s mission is one of many retail theft missions conducted by the Portland Police Bureau over the last year. The missions have culminated in hundreds of arrests, firearms seized, stolen cars recovered and stolen merchandise recovered. 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.
