GP Police Apprehended Safeway Theft Suspect, Additional Suspect Fled Scene
Following a theft attempt at a Safeway, a man was arrested by Grants Pass Police Sunday night.
An employee of the 1640 Williams Highway grocer called 911, reporting three people, two women and a man, were in the store stealing items. The male was described as having a backpack and wearing a Cowboy football team shirt. One of the female suspects had a puffy black jacket and purse.
The identified suspects were putting items inside their respective purse and backpack. The reporting party was at the self-checkout, and said one of the female suspects, wearing a blue sweater and tank top was paying for a few items, while the male suspect left the store without paying.
He was contacted outside the store and admitted to stealing almost $47 worth of merchandise. Officers identified him as Andrew Urenda, and was lodged in the Adult Jail Facility.
The police report shows one of the female suspects had fled the scene before officer's arrival, and that she had two warrants out of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and Medford Police Department.
