On Friday, March 7, 2025, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office led a retail crime mission focusing on retailers at the Clackamas Promenade on SE Sunnyside Road, in unincorporated Clackamas County.
During the 10-hour mission, deputies with the Sheriff’s Office Neighborhood Livability Project Team, contacted theft suspects as they exited stores and others suspected of committing crimes in the area. The mission resulted in 20 arrests and the recovery of more than $3,133 worth of stolen merchandise. Additionally, five arrests warrants were cleared, and a missing juvenile was located.
Criminal charges ranged from Theft in the Second Degree (11), Theft in the Third Degree (8), Possession of Controlled Substances (meth and fentanyl), and others.
Friday’s mission was funded in part by the Organized Retail Theft (ORT) Grant Program, created by Oregon Senate Bill 900 (2023) and administered by the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission. The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office uses these funds to help pay for staffing and equipment for law enforcement missions and other efforts to combat organized retail theft and hold those offenders accountable.
Since 2022, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office has been partnering with local businesses and our local law enforcement partners to combat retail theft through similar missions. Additional missions throughout Clackamas County are planned for the future.
The Neighborhood Livability Project is an inter-departmental team of Clackamas County employees working together to address issues that negatively impact our community’s safety and quality of life.
