On August 18th, 2024 at 1:46 AM, an unidentified person vandalized Fire Station 25 serving the citizens of the Mt Scott-Arleta and Woodstock neighborhoods located at 5211 SE Mall Street. The person was driving a 1997-2003 Ford F150 pickup truck, white in color, with a long bed and garbage piled in the bed.
The vehicle’s horn was honked for an extended period as the vehicle drove over the curb and onto the lawn. The vehicle backed up into the street, then returned to the driveway of the station, striking the garage door, damaging it which required emergency repairs to make the door fully operational again. The vehicle then drove over the lawn again striking the flagpole.
Investigators believe the vehicle may have damage to the passenger front corner, and along the passenger side of the vehicle from striking the door and flagpole. Mud may also be present along the sides of the body, tires, and wheels from the damage caused to the lawn.
If anyone recognizes this vehicle, please contact Lt. Jason Andersen @ 503-823-3787 or by email at Jason.andersen@police.portlandoregon.gov. If you know the vehicle’s location currently, please call 911 to report it.
