CBPD release – On December 8, 2020, at approximately 1205 hours, the Coos Bay Police Department received a 9-1-1 call from a citizen in the parking lot of Banner Bank, downtown Coos Bay. The caller reported a suspicious vehicle, described as a silver or grey newer model Mitsubishi Outlander SUV with either no license plates or a license plate cover, had followed her from North Bend into Coos Bay almost crashing into her multiple times along the way. The caller reported she got out of her vehicle at Banner Bank to use the ATM and noticed the SUV had followed her into the parking lot. While she was at the ATM the driver of the SUV exited his vehicle, approached her vehicle, and proceeded to stab one of her tires multiple times. The driver of the SUV was described as a white male adult, in his thirties, wearing a red AC/DC shirt and a mask that covered his face. The driver then got back into his SUV and fled the scene. The Coos Bay Police Department provided information about this incident to the public seeking assistance with identifying the person involved. Thanks to the involvement of our local community and greater Oregon community, the Coos Bay Police Department received several tips that have led to the identification of this vehicle and the operator. The Coos Bay Police Department is working in collaboration with other jurisdictions to bring this person to justice. The Coos Bay Police Department would again like to thank all of the citizens who made this case possible. Since this case is still on-going, no further information is available at this time.
