Two Theft Investigations Lead to Three Arrests

BEND, OR -- Three people were arreseted in the past few days, in two separate theft investigations. The first occurred May 2, when the victim's Ring camera captured someone stealing her children's longboards.

On Thursday, a friend then noticed the property for sale on Facebook Marketblace. During an undercover operation, a Bend Police officer offered the seller $120 for the boards and they agreed to meet in a parking lot on the north end of town. The seller laid the longboards out and the officer confirmed they were the victim's.

Police arrested 32-year-old Brittain Donaldson on Second Degree Theft.

 

Early Friday morning, a separate investigation led to two more arrests in Bend. Police believe Nathan Felix stole a bike from the back of a car by cutting the lock. When they found him on the bike talking to a woman, he told police the bike was originally stolen from him and he was just taking it back. Officers discovered bolt cutters in his pocket.

The woman he was with sped off when police arrived. Julie Hinkley was quickly pulled over for making a turn without signaling. She was arrested for DUII and unlawful possession of a loaded handgun.

The BMX bike was returned to the victim.
