Thousands of dollars of suspected stolen goods were seized during the service of several search warrants connected to an organized retail theft investigation.
Published
On Tuesday March 18, 2025, the Portland Police Bureau, in collaboration with the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, served three search warrants in connection with an ongoing organized retail theft investigation.
The search warrants were served at the following locations: Card Rhino/Next Level Cards, 12416 Northeast Halsey Street, Portland; Direct Deals HQ LLC/Limit Deals, 19300 Southwest Boones Ferry Road, Suite 2C, Tualatin; and, Great Deals 2.0, 5305 Northeast 121st Avenue, Suite 509, Vancouver.
The investigation, centered around the business on Northeast Halsey Street, uncovered direct and persistent involvement in the trafficking of suspected stolen goods through a variety of means, including buying stolen in-box goods, and gift cards obtained by returning stolen goods, and reselling them on eBay and Amazon.
In all, more than 1,000 pieces of evidence were seized, highlighted by approximately $14,000 in cash, gold, silver, and many high-dollar, new in-box items that are currently being tallied. In addition, investigators are examining numerous bank accounts belonging to the suspects.
“I am proud of the dedication and perseverance shown by our detectives, law enforcement partners, and retailers throughout this investigation,” Chief Bob Day said. “This case is proof of what’s possible when you tackle organized retail theft from a holistic approach.”
“Together with our partners in law enforcement and the retail business community, we continue to focus on the problem of retail theft and its impact in Multnomah County,” District Attorney Nathan Vasquez added. “Today’s search warrants and the ongoing investigation by the Retail Theft Task Force are a testament to that commitment.”
No arrests have been made as this remains an active, ongoing investigation.
PPB and the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office would like to thank the Vancouver Police Department, Tualatin Police Department, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, PPB’s Special Emergency Reaction Team, and various retailers for their assistance.
