Gig Harbor: 23 arrested in 2-day retail theft emphasis patrol

Police arrested 23 theft suspects in just two days as part of a retail theft emphasis patrol.

According to authorities, the emphasis patrol was conducted on March 23 and 24. Plainclothes detectives, police officers and a Pierce County Sheriff investigator worked with local loss prevention officers. The police department says in just two days, they made 23 arrests—21 for third-degree theft and two for second-degree robbery.Police say the two robbery charges stemmed from suspects trying to fight with loss prevention staff while committing theft.

More please

Fantastic work by the officers…now do a follow up piece on how the prosecutor handled the arrests

brandonsblog That’s a crazy sample size for just two days.

Getting close to election time or something? Why are the police doing things now?

Nice. Glad to see arrests for thefts.

Any news on how the city of Gig Harbor is helping people with homelessness, employment, mental health and overall improvement of all people in the community. That's what would impress me more than you arresting people impacted by those issues.

How many of those 23 are still in jail?

Excellent! Now we just need judges with balls that will give stiff prison terms.

This is great but we should have enough cops that this happens all the time not just on ‘emphasis patrol.’ State legislature is in session. They need to fix what they have broken.

Thank you!!!

Now if we could get a conviction and some time behind bars maybe this nonsense would start to dwindle. We need to address crime and mental health. This is what the citizens of WA want.

THANK YOU!!

They should be cracking down on theft everywhere in Washington we’re loosing Walmart and Fred meyers due to thefts and recklessness especially in Everett Wa

catch and release, most likely.
