By Associated Press and KATU.com StaffPORTLAND, Ore. - Portland police have arrested three people accused of operating a fake Trimet ticket ring that amounted to approximately $100,000 in lost fares. Detective Mary Wheat said Wednesday the arrests of 29-year-old Gabriel Bedolla-Medina, 27-year-old Jamie Caamal-Balam and 23-year-old Maria Izquierdo followed a two-month investigation. Bedolla-Medina and Caamal-Balam face multiple counts of forgery. Izquierdo faces a single count. According to police, the forged tickets are difficult to distinguish from valid ones, and TriMet riders should be careful when buying tickets from unauthorized sellers. Anyone using a forged ticket can be arrested for theft. |
