Hello neighbors, another case in the works...  Over the last month PPB has received many vandalism reports in the lower Macadam area with regards to tires being cut. Specifically in the area of the Water Tower business complex (which houses Pier One Imports and Billy Bangs Pub), as well as the condo association on the other side of Macadam near the river.

This an update to a previous post of mine titled "Recent Increase in SW Night Time Crime." As a result of the thorough investigation by PPB night shift Officer Brett Livingston into the burglaries on SW 56th, SW 58th and SW Orchard Ln, PPB Criminalist Randy Yoshimura was able to locate latent fingerprints on surfaces inside two of the burglarized homes. A third home directly between the two had no fingerprint evidence but a vehicle stolen from the home was recovered in front of a third home where prints were found. Fortunately the young man who left those prints had previously been arrested  for breaking into homes and his prints were on record. Last week an arrest warrant was issued for the youth, who is sixteen years old, and he was arrested within the week.

Hello SWNI Neighbors. I wanted to share an update on a recent increase in night time crime, specifically in the Ash Creek Neighborhood but applicable to all neighborhoods.

Generally once or twice a year a vehicle will drive up onto the soccer field at Albert Kelly Park and do a spin or two, but this year sometime during the night of Friday Nov 18th, 2005 one or more vehicles did spionouts on the soccer field.

Call 503-823-4TAG(4824) the Portland Police Bureau's Graffiti Hotline to report graffiti.
