A Vancouver woman was arrested Friday after she was caught stealing prescription medication from an Oregon City, Ore., residence she was supposed to be cleaning, according to police.

Oregon City police said that Amanda R. Morgan, 32, was arrested Friday on suspicion of theft and possession of a controlled substance.

Morgan, an employee of The Cleaning Authority, had been suspected of stealing medication; the cleaning company cooperated with Oregon City police and set up a hidden camera Friday morning in the residence, which captured the theft, police said.

Morgan was arrested at the residence without incident and was booked into the Clackamas County Jail.

Investigators believe there may be more victims and if anyone has information on the case, they are asked to call the Oregon City Tip Line, 503-496-1616, and reference case No. 16-1705.
