Tigard Police say they have arrested 14 people and recovered more than $4,000 in merchandise after a shoplifting enforcement sweep on Saturday.
On February 4 the shoplifting sweep was simultaneously held at three stores in the Washington Square area. Plainclothes detectives, patrol officers, and loss prevention employees worked to find and apprehend shoplifting suspects.
14 arrests were made during the operation, and investigators recovered more than $4,000 in merchandise, shoplifting tools, and some blue pills they said were likely fentanyl.
In photos provided by police, some of the recovered merchandise includes jackets, slide sandals, blankets, workout powder mix, and a Nespresso machine.
The Tigard Police Department says that shoplifting has become more violent in recent years, as people arm themselves or fight with loss prevention.
