P&G announces price increase on cleaning, hygiene products

WASHINGTON (TND) — Get ready to see prices increase for everyday home items.

Consumer goods company Procter & Gamble says you can expect to pay about 8% more for many of its popular products.

Laundry detergents like Tide and Gain are among them, along with products like Downy fabric softener and Bounce dryer sheets.

Procter & Gamble says the increase will help offset costs tied to the ongoing supply chain issues.

Competitor Unilever also increased prices recently.

This comes just a week after December figures showed a 7% inflation surge, the highest in nearly 40 years.

Customers will start paying more for those in late February. The company's personal health care products will follow suit in mid-April.

Tri-Cities law enforcement arrests man connected to retail theft ring

KENNEWICK, WA. - After investigating a long line of retail thefts across various Tri-Cities businesses, the Kennewick and Pasco Police Department teamed up to arrest a 50-year-old man suspected of illegal activity.
According to a social media alert from the Kennewick Police Department, search warrants were executed by their detectives simultaneously with PPD detectives at businesses on the 5200 block of West Canal Dr. and the 400-block of N Ely St on Thursday, January 20.
These search warrants were granted because of evidence compiled by Tri-Cities law enforcement to bring down a retail theft ring. While the extent of its activity is unclear, the searches eventually led to an arrest.
According to the KPD, detectives recovered evidence from these retail locations and brought suspect Timothy Maki into custody. He was booked into county jail on two counts: Possession of Stolen Property to the first degree and Trafficking Stolen Property to the first degree.
In light of their arrest, Tri-Cities authorities are still looking to gather additional Intel to increase the scope of their investigation.

10 Kennewick residents indicted in staged car accident scheme
RICHLAND, Wash. — Nearly a dozen Kennewick residents are part of a 138-count federal indictment spanning 23 people for their involvement in a staged car accident scheme that accumulated almost $1 million in false insurance claims.
According to a release from the Eastern Washington District Attorney’s Office, participants spanned Washington, California, Michigan, Nevada, and British Columbia.
Those involved with this scheme staged auto accidents and serious injuries to make fraudulent claims to health insurance companies. They conspired to commit mail fraud and illegally placed claims for lost wages, injuries, and property damage.
Some individuals, including several of the Kennewick residents, also obstruct official proceedings by making false claims that FBI informants solicited bribe payment.
The local suspects who face obstruction charges were identified as Ali Abed Yaser (51), Hussein A. Yasir (39), Hasanein A. Yaser (20), and Mohammed Naji Al-Jibory (33), who was not charged in the staged accident plot.
The remaining defendants out of Kennewick were identified as Insaf A. Karawi (52), Ameer R. Mohammed (45), Khalil Abdul-Razaq (40), Farooq S. Yaseen (32), Maria Elena Sanchez (41), and Mohammed F. Al-Himrani (33).
Some witness tampering charges and false statements charges are also being applied in this case.
Four of the defendants have not been located and are being considered fugitives. They face up to 55 years in prison for their crimes
