Many of you have seen the graffiti pictures shared from the Little League Field. The subject who tagged the dugouts also did so on top of the Cascade Square building yesterday. We are looking for the person in these pictures as a possible suspect. He was last seen on 05/22 at about 1:15 PM. If you know who this subject is, please call our non-emergency dispatch and ask to speak with Officer Lick.

We are receiving more calls recently of over the phone scams. While anyone can be a victim of these, they primarily target the elderly. Please remind your elderly friends, family, and neighbors that these scams can put them out thousands of dollars. The most common ones we hear of are the IRS calling demanding money over the phone so they won't go to jail. The IRS will never call you for money. The next is their grandchild or niece/nephew needing money to get out of jail in another state or country. Please take a moment to discuss these with anyone you think may be persuaded by these scammers.

Do you know me? On 05/06/18 a female subject driving a green Dodge Neon with a red hood came to the Westside 76. The subject asked for $20 in fuel, went inside, and ate a box of doughnuts while looking around the store. The subject did not pay for the gas or the doughnuts. As you know, doughnuts are very near and dear to our hearts at the police department. If you know who this subject is, please contact Officer Dutton. All crimes are alleged until proven guilty.

Three things to cover today: On our police department page we have a crime map. The crime map shows incidents in the city limits (thefts, property crimes, etc.) within a selected time frame. You can look up our calls for service here. http://www.ci.the-dalles.or.us/police.htm?q=crimereports The deadline for removing your studded tires ended on April 15th. It is a Class C traffic violation to have studded tires on your vehicle currently. Lastly we have been getting several calls a day regarding this box in the Cascade Square parking lot. Someone had hit one of the poles and the electrical is being covered. We found it a bit suspicious the first time we saw it as well but everything is okay.
