Bend PD: Fred Meyer shoplifter sold many items on Craigslist

A 33-year-old Bend woman accused of shoplifting numerous big-ticket items from the Bend Fred Meyer and selling them on Craigslist has been arrested and faces more than two-dozen theft and related charges, police said Wednesday.

Store loss prevention agents bought back some items during their investigation and a raid on her home turned up more, totaling more than $5,600.

Lensey Greenman was contacted and arrested Tuesday in regards to the ongoing theft investigation and a search warrant later was served on her home, said Lt. Clint Burleigh.

On Sept. 21, Fred Meyer’s loss prevention workers noticed a substantial amount of property being stolen from the store, Burleigh said. They also learned Greenman was posting Craigslist ads and selling suspected stolen items, including Kitchenaid products and other high-end merchandize.

The store’s loss prevention agents met with Greenman several times in response to the Craigslist ads and were able to document the property being sold as items stolen from the store. They bought the items and provided information to police, starting their investigation and arranging Tuesday’s meeting, where she had agreed to sell a large number of shoplifted items, Burleigh said..

Greenman was issued a citation to appear in court on 11 counts each of theft by receiving and attempted theft of receiving, three counts of computer crime and one count of first-degree theft. The raid on her home turned up stolen items from KitchenAid cookware and blenders to a cordless lawn mower.

“The Bend Police Department would like to thank Fred Meyer Loss Prevention for putting the time and effort into making this case successful,” Burleigh wrote in a news release.

Burleigh said police would like to hear from anyone who may have bought items from the woman, to gather more witness information and possibly recover stolen property.
