Salem, Ore. — On October 9, Salem Police patrol officers responded to a residential burglary in progress in West Salem, where the victim encountered two suspects inside her home. The suspects fled in a vehicle later determined to be connected to a burglary crew under investigation by Eugene Police.

Thanks to the sustained efforts of Eugene Police detectives, Salem Police Felony Crimes Unit detectives were able to quickly identify the suspect vehicle and begin processing the scene. Salem Police investigators and the Salem Police Crime Lab worked alongside Eugene Police investigators to canvass the neighborhood and gather additional evidence.

Eugene Police SWAT later served a search warrant at a Eugene residence and arrested seven people in connection with their investigation.

An estimated $40,000 in jewelry was stolen during the burglary. Detectives are working closely with Eugene Police to attempt to recover and return the stolen property to the victim.
This case is part of a broader investigation into organized burglaries targeting business owners across the Willamette Valley. Charges are expected, and the investigation remains active and ongoing.

We are grateful to the Eugene Police Department and their detectives for the exceptional work and collaboration, which allowed our team to swiftly advance this case.
