COMMUNITY CRIME/ALERT

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT:

·       Up Lolo pass, in the forest area, there is a band of drifters who have settled in. ·       There are, in estimate, 20-25 of these folks in multiple camp sites. ·       They sometimes move around, but in the deeper woods they have some semi-permanent spots. ·       Their leader is named Jeff. He is an old man with a limp and walking stick.   ·       Nothing is stolen by this band of thieves without Jeff knowing about it. He drives a grey Subaru wagon, very beat up. It is a community vehicle for the family, so he is not the only driver. ·       They do buy clothes from Goodwill in Gresham so that they can wear them in places to better fit in. ·       They do little theft at night and strike during the day.  ·       They have made claims that due to last year’s mild winter, they are going to try and stick around. ·       Their target this winter will be skiing and Snow Boarding gear. High dollar, easy to take, but the size makes them more vulnerable to being caught. ·       A few of them do take local jobs, they sell firewood, and they collect cans and bottles as well.
