EUGENE, Ore. - A security camera caught two thieves snatching an iPad from a University of Oregon office on Wednesday.

The video shows a woman run interference with staff in a School of Journalism and Communications office while the man grabs the iPad and slides it under a stack of paper in his hands.

The theft happened in Agate Hall, where the journalism school has relocated while Allen Hall undergoes renovations.

EUGENE, Ore. - An early morning high-speed chase ended with a stolen pickup crashing into Eugene's Flower Home at 13th and Patterson.

"Oh boy, and it would of course be a big truck," said long-time owner of the flower store, Pat Brooks.

In 90 years in business, they've never had damage on this magnitude.

Police arrested the driver, 18-year-old Aaron Blanton, on an array of charges.

And even with all that mess, the shop was open for business Tuesday, Jan. 24.

Brooks said Eugene's Flower Home has suffered through minor crashes over the years - and this one tops them all.

"About three fourths of the front of our building, which is windows, was gone," she said.

Eugene police said an officer tried to stop Blanton at 7th and Van Buren after 2 a.m.  After 2 miles of chasing, the store stopped the truck.

By mid-morning, cleaning crews had the windows boarded up and most of the debris into separate piles. Store manager Laurie Brooks-Headley told KVAL News, "All across the windows we had displays."
