PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Police are seeking a former warehouse manager for stealing and reselling over $1.2 million of equipment from a manufacturer in Sherwood, authorities said.

Adrian Cooper, 36, of Wilsonville, was indicted by a Washington County Grand Jury of multiple charges related to the alleged theft that took place at Okonite Manufacturing in Sherwood, the Sherwood Police Department said in a release.

The nationwide company manufactures public utility-related underground wiring. Cooper, who is still at large, is accused of stealing the equipment and reselling it while he was a warehouse manager back in April.

In October, a grand jury indicted Cooper on 10 counts of aggravated first-degree theft and two counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle. A Washington County judge then issued an arrest warrant for Cooper, whose whereabouts are unknown.

Anyone with information about Cooper’s location or the case is asked to contact Sherwood police.
