The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has identified and arrested the suspect responsible for the recent series of vehicle break‑ins in La Pine. Between doorbell cameras, driveway cameras, and dozens of tips from the community, the suspect was identified as 27‑year‑old Noah Kirshner of La Pine. According to DCSO:
Deputies reviewed hours of video from homeowners’ cameras that captured Kirshner stealing items from cars in the Reserve in the Pines and Crescent Creek neighborhoods. Stolen items included purses, wallets, medications, and an iPad. Deputies say that most of the items have been recovered, and the property returned to the owners.
Kirshner was arrested and lodged in the Deschutes County Adult Jail on the following charges:
- Attempted Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle (7 counts)
- Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle (5 counts)
- Theft in the Second Degree (2 counts)
- Theft in the First Degree (1 count)
As deputies continue to sort through the large volume of video evidence and identify additional victims, Kirshner could face additional charges.
The Sheriff’s Office wants to thank all the neighbors who took the time to review their camera footage and share what they found with us. This case is a good reminder that when nearly every driveway has a camera pointed somewhere, it becomes very difficult for criminal activity to go unnoticed.
