CCSO CASE # 09-19560
On Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 10:42 p.m., a group of five males entered the Fred Meyer store located at 8955 SE 82nd Avenue (82nd & Johnson Creek) in Happy Valley. This group -- working together -- was witnessed by store security to gather an estimated $1,000 worth of Blu-Ray discs and depart the store without paying for this merchandise. Surveillance still images of these suspects are linked above.
Store security responded by attempting to stop a male subject who was fleeing on foot across the Fred Meyer parking lot in possession of stolen Blu-Ray discs. However, one of the accompanying suspects intervened and threatened store-security personnel with a handgun -- prevented security personnel from recovering the stolen merchandise and arresting the theft suspect.
No gunshots were fired and no one was injured during this armed confrontation with store security.
This armed robbery was reported to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and the Portland Police Bureau, who responded.
At 10:48 p.m., a member of this suspect group was stopped by Portland Police when he was observed walking near the intersection of SE 82nd and Clatsop. The suspect was taken into custody and lodged at Clackamas County Jail.
