Mayor Katz, police tighten down
on pawn shops and stolen goods
CONTRIBUTED STORY
for
T he P ortland O bsery Eft
Pawn shops and occasional second­
hand dealers and their sellers would
face tighter scrutiny under a new
ordinance being proposed by M ayor
V era Katz and Portland Police.
“ W hile the se c o n d -h an d dealers
ordinance has helped cut out stolen
goods trafficking to som e extent, we
know we can do better,” said Katz. "If
you are a legitim ate seller, you have
nothing to w orry about if you are
selling sto len go o d s, w atch out,
because this m eans w e ’ll have better
inform ation to build a case against
you.”
Second-hand dealers already have to
report the p urchase o f reg u lated
property to enable law enforcem ent
to keep track o f stolen goods. The
new ordinance w ould slightly expand
the list o f regulated property, and
require storeow ners to obtain more
th o ro u g h in fo rm atio n , in clu d in g
th u m b p rin ts an d p h o to c o p ies o f
identification presented by sellers.
