Wednesday at 7:51 a.m., the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 7-Eleven at 595 Lancaster Dr. SE, regarding a male subject who attempted to steal a vehicle with two young children inside, ages 2 and 5.
The vehicle owner, who was nearby, confronted the male just as this happened, interrupting his efforts, and he then left the area on foot and was picked up by a “silver car. That vehicle left with the suspect southbound Lancaster and then east on Macleay.
Investigators are asking if anyone recognizes the suspect or has any other information to contact the lead investigator, Deputy Frieze, at 971-301-3410 and/or mfrieze@co.marion.or.us.
