Police Search For Gresham City Hall Burglar – KXL

GRESHAM, OR – Gresham Police are asking for help from the public to identify a person who burglarized Gresham City Hall on Saturday, September 6th.  Surveillance video shows the suspect breaking into several offices early in the morning.  The thief focused on laptops, small electronics, and City-issued credit cards.

Investigators say most of the electronics were obsolete devices that were going to thrown away.  They add that staff had already removed the hard drives from several laptops as part of the disposal process, and the data on the remaining devices is encrypted.   Officials insist no critical City systems or data were accessed or affected.

The majority of the stolen property was recovered a few blocks from City Hall, apparently having been abandoned by the thief.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call the GPD tip line at 503-618-2719 or toll-free at 1-888-989-3505.
