Public Safety Forum to Address Targeted Burglaries in Eugene

YET ANOTHER ASIAN AMERICAN HOME IN EUGENE IS BURGLARIZED

On the evening of Oct. 21, 2025, the Asian American Council of Oregon learned of yet another burglary targeting an Asian American home in Eugene. That brings the total number of recent burglaries targeting Asian American homes to at least 22.

Over the past two years, the Eugene area has seen a resurgence of burglaries targeting the homes of Asian American business owners and families.

In response to growing public concern, the Asian American Council of Oregon will host an Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Public Safety Forum at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 23, at the Korean Presbyterian Church (1600 Taney St.) in Eugene.

The event is free and open to the public.
