DINT Reports Multiple Arrests After Targeted Patrols in Roseburg

The Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team says it has finished an initial round of targeted enforcement patrols in Roseburg after concerns were raised about criminal activity in several parts of the city.

According to DINT, the effort followed reports received in early 2026 by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners from residents and business owners who described increasing criminal activity in downtown Roseburg, as well as in public parks and sports field areas. DINT said it had also separately received ongoing information about suspected narcotics-related activity in some of the same locations.

While the agency said its main role remains investigating higher-level drug distribution in Douglas County, DINT said it determined it could also help address the localized concerns through focused patrol and enforcement work. The operation was developed in coordination with the Board of Commissioners, which provided funding and support while DINT worked to avoid interfering with its other active investigations.

Before the patrols began, DINT met with the Roseburg Police Department to review problem areas and patterns officers had been responding to. The operation was then carried out with help from the Roseburg Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office.

DINT said the enforcement took place over four days between March 31, 2026, and early April 2026, with each operation lasting about four to five hours. Patrols focused on the downtown, Harvard and Garden Valley areas of Roseburg.

The agency said the patrols led to multiple arrests on charges that included Felony Theft I, Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of Methamphetamine and Delivery of Methamphetamine.

Cases listed by DINT included:

• DINT 26-0048: 1 arrest; Disorderly Conduct; Possession of Methamphetamine
• DINT 26-0049: 1 arrest; Theft I; Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle
• DINT 26-0050: 1 arrest; Theft I; Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle; Possession of Methamphetamine
• DINT 26-0052: 1 arrest; Theft I; Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle
• DINT 26-0053: 1 arrest; Theft I; Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle; Delivery of Methamphetamine; Possession of Methamphetamine
• DINT 26-0055: 1 arrest; Theft I; Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle; Possession of Methamphetamine
• DINT 26-0056: 3 pending arrests; Criminal Trespass II; Theft III; Littering; Possession of Methamphetamine
• DINT 26-0057: 1 arrest; Theft I; Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle; Possession of Methamphetamine
• DINT 26-0058: 1 arrest; Theft I; Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle; Possession of Methamphetamine
• DINT 26-0059: 1 arrest; Outstanding Warrants (2); False Information to Police; Identity Theft; Delivery of Methamphetamine; Possession of Methamphetamine

DINT said all of the cases are being prosecuted by the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, with investigative support from Roseburg police and the sheriff’s office.

The agency also said detectives were approached during the patrols by community members and business owners who described recent thefts, vandalism and related criminal activity in the targeted areas.

According to DINT, the patrols had an immediate effect, with a visible law enforcement presence helping disrupt criminal activity in the areas where the operations were conducted.

DINT said the effort is not over and that similar operations will continue.

“Individuals engaging in criminal activity should be aware that targeted enforcement efforts will remain ongoing,” the agency said. “DINT will continue working closely with our local partners to enhance public safety and maintain a secure environment for the residents of Douglas County.”
