The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is investigating two robberies that occurred in the Alvadore area over the past three days. The first robbery occurred on 8/13/2017 at the Fern Ridge Market. The suspect entered the store with a firearm, demanded money, and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash in a blue SUV, similar to a Chevrolet Trailblazer. On 8/15/2017 shortly after 7:00 am, the Sheriff’s Office received a report of an armed robbery at the Alvadore Market. The suspect, described as a white male, approximately 20-30 years old with light colored hair, fled the market with cash. The vehicle involved in this incident was sky blue, and similar to the photo attached (the pictured vehicle is NOT the suspect vehicle, but a similar vehicle). The Sheriff’s Office believes that these robberies were committed by the same person and is seeking the public’s help in identifying him. Anyone who knows the identity of the suspect, or has information on either of these incidents is asked to call 541-682-4141.
