BANKS, Ore., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Authorities in Banks, Ore., said a 19-year-old alleged thief was arrested after the items he is accused of taking showed up for sale on the Craigslist Web site.
A Washington County Sheriff's Office spokesman said detectives became suspicious when Craigslist postings Monday and Tuesday offered two air compressors, eight pneumatic tools and a chain saw just days after similar items were reported stolen last Friday, The Oregonian reported Friday.
The spokesman said Jared Skirving, 19, who made the postings on the Web site, was found to be in possession of all but one of the stolen items at his home, which is near the house where the tools were reported stolen.
