Ore. man arrested in ATV thefts

CAVE JUNCTION, Ore. (AP) — Josephine County sheriff’s officers have arrested a Cave Junction, Ore., man on accusations that he stole all-terrain vehicles from a southern Oregon business.

Deputies took a report of the theft on Thursday at Dave’s Outdoor Power Equipment.

They say they found five ATVs in brush near the home of 29-year-old Jasen Lewis. They obtained a search warrant for Lewis’ property, and found a sixth ATV.

Lewis was arrested for investigation of first-degree aggravated theft and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

The Oregonian reports that investigators think several other missing ATVs may be stashed in another spot. Investigators believe at least two other men were involved in the theft, but they have not been identified.
