Clackamas County sheriff’s deputies are searching for a man who they say has repeatedly burglarized businesses late at night and fled on his motorcycle.
The man, dubbed the “Moto Bandit” for his mode of transportation, has been seen on surveillance footage smashing the windows of businesses and trying to break into their ATMs several times this month, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they are also searching for a woman who accompanied him during one of the burglaries.
The “Moto Bandit” was first spotted April 4 at Philadelphia’s Steaks and Hoagies, where he was captured on video trying to disable the West Linn restaurant’s security systems, leaving the business and returning early the next morning to smash the front door.
A few hours later, a man wearing the same motorcycle helmet was spotted at an Elmer’s restaurant in Clackamas. That man broke a window, used a small electric saw to cut open an ATM and left the restaurant. Deputies said the man caused about $1,000 in damage but did not get any cash from the ATM.
The man was also spotted twice more: once on April 13 at Chester’s Pub in Boring, and a second time at the Elmer’s in Clackamas on April 29.
In both incidents, he used a small saw and unsuccessfully tried to cut open the businesses’ ATMs before fleeing the scene.
A deputy pursued the man after the April 29 burglary but eventually abandoned the chase. The deputy said a woman was with him during the incident, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies think the suspect is between 30 and 42 years old, stands between 5-foot-10 and 6 feet tall and weighs 185 to 240 pounds.
Footage from several incidents shows that he was wearing blue jeans, a heavy red flannel shirt or jacket under a black leather vest, and a distinctive bucket-style helmet and goggles. He was riding a 2017 Harley-Davidson Street Glide motorcycle.
The woman is in her 20s or 30s, deputies said. She has light brown hair.
The sheriff’s office asked anyone with information about the “Moto Bandit” to call at 503-723-4949.
