PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Police arrested 10 people during a single-day retail theft mission at a Tigard Target store last month, authorities said.

The retail theft mission was conducted on March 28 by the Tigard Police Department’s Commercial Crimes Unit. The mission was focused on the Target store on Southwest Hall Boulevard.

The 10 arrests included 37 stolen items recovered worth more than $600, officials said.

The people who were arrested were accused of everything from theft to trespassing. One person was charged with failure to return a driver’s license. Some of the people were issued citations while others were lodged. Among those arrested, three were juveniles, police said.

Tigard police said the CCU conducted the mission with the support of both patrol officers and the store’s loss prevention employees. Similar retail theft missions are conducted throughout the year.
