Initial estimates indicate that he has been actively stealing trailers in our area for over a year and has been selling the stolen trailers
Detectives with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) are investigating a suspect for stealing numerous utility trailers and selling them on social media in the Portland Metro area and Southwest Washington. Initial estimates indicate that he has been actively stealing trailers in our area for over a year and has been selling the stolen trailers.
During the investigation, CCSO detectives obtained search warrants for several locations, recovering property stolen in multiple theft cases.
Although the suspect has been arrested on several of these trailer thefts, the investigation is still ongoing. Pictures and messages on his cell phone indicate he has sold numerous stolen trailers, and detectives are working to locate them.
The suspect is associated with addresses in Gresham, OR, and Battle Ground. When selling the trailers online, he uses the aliases WebbJJ, Joshua James, and Joshua J. Webb. He has been known to forge titles and other paperwork, using these aliases when selling the trailers.
The suspect is associated with a lifted white 2011 Dodge Ram full-sized pickup truck with blue lighting under the vehicle and front wheel well. He is also associated with a tan full-sized Chevy/GMC SUV, also lifted with black wheels. These vehicles have been used to steal several trailers.
If you have evidence indicating these vehicles are involved in a trailer theft or if you purchased a trailer from the suspect in this case, contact CCSO TDU Detectives Brown and Page for additional information, dan.brown@clark.wa.gov, elijah.page@clark.wa.gov.
