PRESS RELEASE – At 12:35 p.m. Tuesday, Portland Police officers from North Precinct responded to the New Seasons Market on North Interstate Avenue after the report of a vehicle seen leaving the parking lot with a naked female tied up in the back with duct tape over her mouth.
Officers flooded the area to look for the car, described as a blue Subaru Legacy. Washington law enforcement was also alerted to the vehicle description in case the car got onto I-5 North.
A witness told officers that the driver of the car was a white male in his 20s, with a goatee and sunglasses and that the female “seemed hazy.” The witness told police that the male stated they “were just having some fun.”
The witness provided the license plate to police and officers checked the registered owner’s address, which is in the 4300 block of Northeast 11th Avenue. Not finding the vehicle there but learning that the registered owner does live there and does drive a blue Subaru Legacy, officers continued to check the area, concerned for the welfare of the bound and naked female.
