Astoria Police Investigate Robbery Report Police Looking for Witnesses



Astoria Police are seeking information after a woman reported being robbed at knife point on the Astoria River Walk, near Astoria Warehousing, yesterday (Mon) morning just before 10am.

Astoria Police received a phone call shortly after 10am yesterday, from a 32 year old female who reported she had been robbed at knife point on the Astoria River Walk. She reported she had been walking two dogs on the elevated area between Astoria Warehousing and the Holiday Inn Express Hotel. She said that she was approached by a male 6” tall, 40-50 years old, wearing a brown hat, blue jeans, and a red and blue plaid shirt. She indicated the male subject pointed a knife at her and demanded her purse. The purse contained only some cash, her ID, and a partially filled bottle of pain medicine. The male subject left eastbound and the victim returned to her car at the Maritime Memorial to call police on the phone she left in her car.

Astoria Police were in the area quickly but were unable to locate anyone matching the description of the suspect. Police have released a photo of the dogs, hoping someone may remember the dogs the victim was walking with.  

Any information will be helpful. Anyone with information should contact Astoria Police at 503.325.4411 or Officer Lance Shepherd at lshepherd@astoria.or.us
