WASHINGTON COUNTY, Oregom (KPTV) Washington County Sheriff’s Office arrested a suspect thief using a “bait trailer” in Aloha on Saturday.
Deputies responded to a theft in progress at Southwest 156th Avenue and Southwest Greensboro Way just after 4:00 a.m.
When they arrived, they found 55-year-old Frank L. Jones of Hillsboro, pulling the trailer behind his car just a few blocks away.
The trailer was placed at that location three days before in response to multiple theft reports in the area, according to WCSO.
The trailer was equipped with a remote alarm and a GPS tracking system.
