U.S. Bank Robbed In Southeast Portland Tuesday Morning

PORTLAND, OR — You know who's really unfazed by huge wildfires, barely breathable air, and scary evacuation notices? Bank robbers, if Tuesday morning's U.S. Bank robbery in Southeast Portland's Sunnyside neighborhood is any indication.

Officers arrived to the U.S. Bank at 1225 S.E. Cesar E. Chavez Blvd. shortly before 10:45 a.m. Sept. 5 following the reported robbery, police said.

Bank employees reportedly told officers the male suspect "implied he had a bomb" when he demanded money; the suspect reportedly left without incident after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash.

The white male suspect is believed to be between 30 and 50 years old and between 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-7 with a medium build.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Portland Police Bureau Robbery Detective Brett Hawkinson at 503-823-1080, or email Brett.Hawkinson@PortlandOregon.gov. Tipsters can also contact the FBI's Portland office at 503-224-4181.
