News Release from West Linn Police Dept.
Posted on FlashAlert: May 15th, 2014 7:57 PM
Sometime during the night between Wednesday and Thursday car prowlers struck near Tanner Creek Park in West Linn. The thieves made off with a backpack that was in the trunk of a car. The pack is in Army Combat Uniform (ACU)pattern. For those who don't know what that is, it is the camouflage of the United States Army. It had a patch on it that read "229 Training Brigade."
Inside this pack was a binder that contained photos, official documents, service awards, a letter from the President and a BRONZE STAR that was awarded to our victim on his last combat tour in Afghanistan.
The WLPD is asking everyone in the area of Tanner Creek park to check their yards, and trash cans to see if the thieves discarded the backpack. If it is found contact the WLPD at 503.635.0238 and an officer will pick it up and get it returned.
There have been several car prowls in the last two weeks where items were discarded by the suspects, and subsequently returned to the victims.
