PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An Aloha woman is in jail after stealing a package planted by detectives to catch porch pirates, according to deputies.

Washington County Sheriff deputies arrived in the area of West Baseline Road and Southwest 170th Avenue around 2:30 a.m. on Thursday.

They were responding to an alarm that was activated by a “bait” package — one of many planted around Washington County to deter and catch potential thieves.

Beaverton police officer Jered Lutu was also on the scene, along with his K-9 partner, Toa. The pair tracked the bait package to a stairwell leading to a group of apartments.

A GPS tracker in the bait package helped deputies narrow down which apartment it was in. They arrested 44-year-old Lehua Kawaha after allegedly finding the stolen package in her bedroom.

Kawaha was booked at the Washington County Jail on mail theft charges and a parole violation.

Deputies also arrested an Amazon Flex delivery driver last week after he allegedly stole a different bait package.

2018 marks the fourth year of the sheriff office’s bait package program. Deputies arrested 3 people during the 2017 holiday season.
