Man accused in home-invasion robbery

A 22-year-old man allegedly involved in a Vancouver home-invasion robbery made a first appearance Thursday in Clark County Superior Court.

Mason C. Campbell of Vancouver appeared on suspicion of first-degree robbery in the May incident in the Oakbrook neighborhood.

Shortly after 1 a.m. May 30, Vancouver police responded to a home-invasion robbery in the 2000 block of Northeast 93rd Avenue. The resident, Robert Moore, called 911 to report that two unknown, armed men broke into his home. He said they were looking to steal firearms and medical marijuana that he grows for his wife, according to a probable cause affidavit.

The men, whose faces were concealed, assaulted and zip-tied him, he said, and one placed duct tape over his mouth, the affidavit said.

Police collected the duct tape as evidence, and the Washington State Patrol crime lab later identified a finger print on it as Campbell’s, court records state.

Campbell had been arrested in Gresham, Ore., 10 days after the home-invasion robbery, and police there recovered a stolen firearm from a separate case that they believe was used at the Moore residence, according to the affidavit.

On Thursday, Judge Gregory Gonzales appointed Campbell an attorney and set his bail at $300,000. He will be arraigned Oct. 19.
