SALEM, Ore. -- On June 18, 2026, Felony Crimes Unit detectives served a search warrant and recovered
stolen property at a local storage unit while following up on a burglary investigation. 

The investigation began on June 2, 2026, when a Salem Police Community Services Officer (CSO) 
responded to a report of a burglary at More Flips, a sports and collector card shop in the 1700 block of 
Center St NE. The owner of the shop reported over $60,000 in merchandise was stolen. The CSO 
developed information that assisted patrol officers in identifying, locating, and arresting Colt Snyder, 35, of 
Salem, in connection with the burglary. Snyder was lodged at Marion County Jail on multiple charges, 
including Burglary in the First Degree and Theft in the First Degree.

Detectives from the Felony Crimes Unit took over the investigation and identified a storage unit on 
Hawthorne Avenue NE linked to Snyder. Detectives applied for and were granted a search warrant for the 
storage unit. During the search, some of the stolen property was recovered and other evidence was seized.
The stolen property was returned to the store owner.

The investigation is ongoing, and further inquiries should be directed to the Marion County District Attorney's 
Office.
