OFFICERS RECOVER STOLEN CAR, LOADS OF PROPERTY
At around 9:35 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15`t', Tigard Police responded to a report of an unwanted
person at the Parkwood Court Apartments. When officers arrived, the subject took off in a stolen
car and led officers on an erratic chase, at one point hitting a light pole and continuing to drive
through several neighborhood yards.
Eventually, the subject ran from the stolen car on foot in an area near the Meadow Creek
Apartments. Law enforcement partners with Tualatin PD, King City PD, Beaverton PD and the
Washington County Sheriff's Office joined in the effort to find the driver. Despite several attempted
K-9 tracks, the driver was not located.
Inside the stolen car, investigators found ammunition, methamphetamine, dozens of ID's and gift
cards, counterfeit cash, laptops and burglary tools. At this early stage in the investigation, crime
analysts have already linked some of the recovered property to at least one burglary.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Tigard Police would like to thank our regional
partners for their assistance.
Attached is a photo of officers cataloging the recovered property as evidence.
