Clackamas County Sheriff’s office reported that there is a link to our crime spree and two guys that were apprehended recently.

Several years ago there were reports of these large cats being active in the cabin area. One cabin owner up on Road 34 reported that he had spotted cat tracks in the snow on Dec 31.
This is just mentioned as a precaution to watch out for your small children and pets. Even adults need to be aware of their surrounding and walk with a friend.
Jan 6, 2012 – This just in from the deputy that patrols our area on the mountain :
Daryl,
I wanted to let you know we have made an arrest on some of the Burglaries. We arrested 1 person and will deal with the other on Monday. The bottom line I guess, is that we know who has done a good portion of the Burglaries. They are a couple of local guys that were driving around in a Black Ford PU and a small white Toyota.
Please let your members know that we believe there is more than just these 2 guys doing all the Burglaries. The older Orange/Red pick up Or. WLH 795 is still an unknown. I do think this arrest will account for a good portion of the Cabin Burglaries. The Detective Division is still investigating these along with the Patrol Division.

Further info from one of our cabin owners:
Dear Daryl,
I received a telephone call from Clackamas County Detective Scott Eggleston. Detective Eggleston reported that he found a box addressed to me; the box contained missing items from our wood shed (leather gloves, assorted tools & a chain saw fuel tank). But best of all, he has 2 people in custody for the cabin thefts! Hopefully this will put an end to the criminal activity in our cabin neighborhood. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?!
Happy New Year!
Rd 27
WebMaster note:
The arrested persons name is Jeffrey Titus. Information on the second person is not available at this time.
