This week’s mission is one of more than a dozen retail theft missions conducted by the Portland Police Bureau since March of this year. The missions have culminated in the arrests of more than 100 people. 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 to deter retail theft and other crimes across Portland.
