A security video shows a man who tried to rob a branch of Columbia Credit Union in Hazel Dell on Thursday afternoon, police say.
Detectives with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office are hoping someone will recognize security images of a man who allegedly tried to rob the Columbia Credit Union branch at 808 N.E. 98th Circle in Hazel Dell on Thursday afternoon.
The man walked into the building about 5:15 p.m., handed a note to a teller and said he wanted all the money, according to a sheriff’s bulletin.
Then, having displayed no weapon or implied he had one, he apparently changed his mind, grabbed the note and fled empty handed.
Several sheriff’s deputies rushed to the area. A tracking dog sniffed out a trail that stopped suddenly, indicating the robber jumped into a vehicle nearby.

A witness confirmed that theory, saying someone ran through some bushes and jumped into a car.
The would-be robber is described as white, dark-haired, in his 20s and 5 feet 11 inches tall. He wore a black hat, a camouflage jacket and had a back pack.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call 911 and ask to speak with Deputy Trenda.
