Police Seize 100,000 Pills in Oregon Drug Bust

Clackamas County, Oregon – The Clackamas County Inter-Agency Task Force (CCITF)  executed a search warrant  at a property in the 16000 block of S. Harding Road in Oregon City, Oregon today looking for illegal drugs.

According to a press release from Sergeant Brian Jensen,
Office of Public Information at the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office,  CCITF members seized over $7,000 in cash and approximately 100,000 Tramadol opioid pills at the scene, making four arrests.

Once there, law-enforcement personnel made another discovery: a breeding operation involving approximately a dozen puppies and numerous other dogs of various ages and breeds. Breeds found on the scene  included what appeared to be black and golden Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Chihuahuas and Cocker Spaniels.

Promotional materials found on-site by task force members  stated that the occupants were breeding pure AKC registered Black Lab puppies.  The advertisements stated that the puppies were in a “loving home” and “always around children” — further stating that the puppies came from a “champion bloodline.”

Responding deputies found dead rats in the puppies’ drinking water, as well large amounts of dog feces and urine in the animals’ pens where they lived and played.

 

Oregon Humane Society (OHS) agents are responding to help with the investigation, as is Clackamas County Dog Services. They have taken custody of some of the animals.

Clackamas County Code Enforcement also responded, and is conducting an investigation into the living conditions on the property.

Investigators are looking for anyone who might have had dealings with the Koroteevs. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Sheriff’s Office Tip Line — by phone at 503-723-4949 or by using the online email form — please reference CCSO Case # 16-70352.
