The Hood River Police Department says a man suspected in the theft of $9,000 in merchandise from Hood River businesses has been arrested in central Oregon. In a Facebook statement, the HRPD says a tip obtained by The Dalles Police Department provided a break in the caste. The tip led Hood River Police to the suspect who was eventually arrested in central Oregon. The investigation also produced the seizure of more than $7,000 in cash as evidence. The Dalles Police, Bend Police, and the Deschutes County Community Corrections Department were all involved in the investigation.
