SWEET HOME, Ore. – A 28-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly stealing approximately $90,000 from his grandparents over several years, the Sweet Home Police Department announced.
Sean H. Steinborn, a Sweet Home resident, was charged with first-degree aggravated theft, identity theft, computer crime, and criminal mistreatment following an extensive investigation.
The case was handled by Officer Jayson Sanchez, who took over the assignment after completing his officer training in July 2024. The investigation was prolonged due to the time required to obtain financial records through subpoenas.
Authorities discovered that Steinborn allegedly used the stolen funds on platforms like Zelle, DoorDash, PlayStation Network, Walmart.com, and Amazon.
He was booked into the Linn County Jail, and further details may emerge as the investigation continues.
