BEAVERTON, Ore. – Cell phone thieves are using ecoATMs – kiosks found in grocery stores and malls – to get quick cash for stolen electronics. A KGW investigation found roughly 150 theft and burglary police reports filed in Portland and Beaverton since 2020 that reference ecoATM. Detectives said that’s likely an undercount of the stolen-phone-for-cash problem, despite the company’s security features.
