Beaverton Police Search For 'Big Nose' Burglar

BEAVERTON, OR — Beaverton police, with help from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, are investigating a burglary that occurred at the Hillside Pub sometime Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

According to Beaverton police spokesman Mike Rowe, a male suspect "with a large nose" broke into the Hillside Pub at 16305 S.W. Barrows Rd. in Beaverton by shattering the glass front door sometime in the night between May 29 and May 30.

The suspect was also wearing a headlamp over a beanie, gloves, and something pulled over the bottom portion of his face, Rowe said. Undefined items were stolen from the pub, Rowe said.

UPDATE: Rowe confirmed on Wednesday that the 'big nose' burglar is also connected to three more burglaries in Beaverton.

The Mandarin Palace, 5449-5547 S.W. Western Ave., and Thai Bloom, 3800 S.W. Cedar Hills Blvd., did not appear to have anything stolen, Rowe said, while the Hillside Pub and Fireside Grill, 8136 S.W. Hall Blvd., both had an undisclosed amount of money stolen.

In every incident, Rowe said, the burglar broke out an entryway window or door frame. Three of the locations had alarms set, but the owner of one of those locations did not immediately respond or call police because he'd been having trouble with the alarm system and thought its activation was a glitch, Rowe said.

This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Beaverton Police Department non-emergency line at 503-629-0111.
