An investigation by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office into a series of related trailer theft cases has resulted in the arrest of a suspect.

As a result of their request for additional information, Detectives Dan Brown and Elijah Page were able to identify 17 possibly related trailer theft cases that stretched from Woodland, to Salem, Oregon, and from Astoria, Oregon, to Bend, Oregon, totaling at least $181,000 in stolen trailers.
In Clark County, the suspect has been arrested and charged with five counts of Trafficking Stolen Property in the First Degree, four counts of Theft in the First Degree, two counts of Burglary in the Second Degree, one count of Forgery, and one count of Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle.
