iPad Theft Leads to Major Bust | Portland News

A stolen iPad sparked a major bust in Clackamas County—leading deputies to arrest 33-year-old John Michael Auer Jr. after a high-speed chase through his apartment complex. The device was part of a larger burglary haul, and officers found not just the iPad, but three guitars, an amp, watches, meds, tools, and a shocking cache of stolen IDs—including passports and birth certificates. They also recovered a loaded handgun and ammo. Auer, who fought officers before being booked, now faces multiple charges including burglary, theft, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Authorities are still seeking other victims—call Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office with case 26-015097. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
