Vancouver police officers and Clark County sheriff’s deputies seized four vehicles and arrested six people Wednesday during a joint stolen vehicle sting.
The operation was a part of a larger mission involving multiple law enforcement agencies throughout the Portland metro area. While the sting aimed to locate and recover stolen vehicles, Vancouver police noted in a news release those vehicles can often be used in other crimes, like robberies, shooting and assaults.
