Eugene Police Department Conducts Multi-state Burglary Ring Arrests Targeting Wealthy Individuals of Asian Descent
Eugene, OR – On June 23, the Eugene Police Department’s Property Crimes Unit executed simultaneous arrests of burglary suspects at three different locations in Eugene: North Delta Hwy/Ayres Road, Franklin Boulevard/Agate Street, and the 700 block of E. 15th Avenue.
Six individuals were apprehended, all suspected of participating in a multi-state residential burglary ring that targets wealthy individuals of Asian descent, including business owners, doctors, and others.
The initial contact at residences was typically made by a female suspect who would casually knock on the front door.
The burglary suspects often attempted to blend in by wearing construction vests, Amazon delivery vests, scrubs, and similar disguises.
If you believe you may have been contacted, are a victim, or have additional information, please reach out to Detective Lollar at [email protected].
