The latest Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) retail theft operation resulted in a dozen arrests, including the apprehension of two prolific retail theft subjects.
On Saturday (June 1), CCSO’s Tactical Detective Unit, with the assistance of the Special Investigations Unit, Special Victims Unit, patrol deputies, and several retail partners, conducted the retail theft operation in Hazel Dell.
Detectives made 12 arrests, including 10 for theft, one for trespassing, and one for a felony warrant related to organized retail theft. In addition to the cases created during the retail theft operation, investigators apprehended multiple prolific organized retail theft subjects with several pending cases.
Often, retail theft suspects are not stealing items for personal use but are part of organized theft rings that steal items to be sold for cash or returned to stores for a fraudulent “refund.” Many of these subjects are also involved in other crimes, such as vehicle theft, illegal possession of firearms, drug distribution, identity theft, and more.
These missions aim not only to disrupt retail thefts but also to impact additional associated criminal activity.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office and our retail partners will continue conducting additional retail theft missions in other areas of our community. Those engaging in retail theft in Clark County will be arrested and jailed.
Video from the retail theft mission can be found on the Clark County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
