Crime Stoppers of Oregon is offering a cash reward for information that leads to the recovery of a stolen prosthetic limb.
On Sunday, December 8, 2024, in the area of Southwest 11th Avenue and Southwest Columbia Street in Downtown Portland, a vehicle was broken into and a prosthetic leg, knee, and running blade was stolen. While this piece of medical equipment is worth approximately $8,000, its true value cannot be measured in dollars as it provides great assistance to a 20-year-old Portland man who lost his leg to a bone cancer.
The Portland Police Bureau, in conjunction with Crime Stoppers of Oregon, is asking for the public’s help in locating the stolen prosthetic. Anyone with information, or the whereabouts of the suspect(s), is asked to submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers of Oregon.
Crime Stoppers of Oregon offers cash rewards of up to $2,500 for information reported to Crime Stoppers of Oregon that leads to an arrest in any unsolved felony crime, but tipsters must remain anonymous. Secure and anonymous tips can be left at www.crimestoppersoforegon.com or you can visit the app store and download P3 tips for smartphones or tablets.
