Brazen thief robs Gresham churches
Since we’re so close to Gresham, and so many east Portland Churches are near, or on the border with Gresham, we thought we’d pass along this e-mail missive from the Gresham Police Department. If you have any information, please call Sergeant LeDuc — the Gresham police officer handling the case — at 503-301-5182.
“The Gresham Police Department is issuing this advisory to inform the public of a thief who targets special events at local churches.
“In the last 35 days, thefts have occurred at the following Gresham Churches: Sanctuary Church on Southeast Orient Drive, Mountain View Church on Northeast Cleveland Ave, Powell Valley Covenant Church on Southeast 282nd Ave and the Seventh Day Adventist Church on Southeast Cleveland Ave.
“Gresham Detectives also believe an additional incident may have occurred in Clackamas County.
“In each incident, the victims were at the church attending a special event. A Caucasian woman in her early forties, described as 5’7 120 lbs with brown hair, was seen at the event.”
