Shoplifting sting operation leads to arrests in Tigard

On Thursday, August 4^th, detectives with the Tigard Police Commercial Crimes Unit joined loss prevention employees at the Tigard Fred Meyer (11565 SW Pacific Highway) for a saturation ‘blitz’ focusing on people shoplifting or engaging in other criminal activity.

During the blitz, detectives confronted five people. Three shoplifting suspects were given warnings, while two others were arrested.

Robert Patterson, age 44, was arrested for criminal trespass and resisting arrest. Detectives learned he also had warrants out for his arrest.

Marat Gudarenko, age 30, was arrested for theft and also had outstanding warrants.

Commercial Crimes Detectives regularly work with loss prevention employees at stores throughout Tigard to identify and apprehend criminal suspects. Blitzes like this are one way detectives hope to discourage people from engaging in criminal activity.
