(Portland, OR) -- Portland Police will be able to run more retail theft missions this fall. The Oregon Criminal Justice Commission is awarding Portland Police over 474-thousand dollars from the Organized Retail Theft Grant Program. They money allows officers to be hired on overtime to run the missions. Police say the suspects aren't stealing items for personal use. They work for organized theft rings. They steal items that can be easily sold for cash or returned to the store for an illegal refund. The money will start being used in September.
