The Lane County Sheriff’s Office received the report of an armed robbery on the morning of 09/28/2023. An adult victim reported that they were driving on River Rd. at about 3:45am when they were flagged down by two men that had been standing in the middle of the road. The men asked for a ride to which the victim agreed. As they were near Lone Pine Dr. one of the suspects produced a handgun and pointed it at the victim. The suspects then stole the victim’s cell phone and car. The victim was allowed to exit the vehicle at which time he went to a nearby house to call 911. The vehicle was abandoned later in the morning in Cowlitz County, Washington. The suspects in this case are both described as black males in their twenties. One suspect had curly black hair, while the other had short black hair. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Lane County Sheriff’s Office at 541-682-4150 opt. 1.
