Crime prevention tip
In the last three months, thieves have removed at least 30 license plates from vehicles in Gresham. Some occurred at private residences/apartment complex lots, but more recently, suspects have selected target-rich used car and RV sales lots. The plates, which usually have valid registration stickers, sometimes end up for sale on Craigslist or OfferUp. More often, they are placed on stolen vehicles to try and "fool" law enforcement.
