The robber was described as a white male, about 5-feet-9-inches tall, wearing a white long-sleeve T-shirt with black lettering spelling “Hurley,” which is the name of a sportswear company. He also wore a white baseball cap with a black letter “H,” for the Hurley logo, and wraparound sunglasses. He had a thin build and appeared to be in his early to mid-20s.

The robber threatened the teller and demanded money but did not display a weapon.

He left on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.

A tracking dog led police to a parking lot, where the scent disappeared, said Vancouver Police Sgt. Troy Price.

Reports indicated the credit union staff thought it could be the same robber who struck the branch at about 1:45 p.m. April 28.

That man was described as white and wearing blue jeans, a black-and-white windbreaker, sunglasses, and a black-and-white baseball cap. That man also left on foot.

The robbery is being investigated by Vancouver’s Major Crimes Unit. Anyone with information is asked to call 360-487-7399.

Bicycle jumper injured

An unidentified rider was severely injured Monday while jumping his bicycle at an east Vancouver skateboard facility.

Speeding down one side of the bowl and riding up the other side to gain momentum for his jumps, the rider might have fallen as far as 15 or 20 feet, said Vancouver Fire Capt. Kevin Murray. He was not wearing a helmet.

The man was transported to Southwest Washington Medical Center with what Murray described as life-threatening injuries to his neck and head.

The victim appeared to be in his early 20s. He had no identification on him when rescuers arrived at about 6:30 p.m., and other people at the facility said they’d never seen him before.

The skateboard park at 16303 N.E. 15th St. was a challenging location for a rescue, Murray said. Eleven rescue personnel found the victim on the floor of the concrete bowl. They secured him to a backboard, hooked him up to monitoring equipment, then had to muscle him up to ground level.

Fire appears intentional

A fire that caused more than $80,000 in damage to a Heritage neighborhood house early Sunday appears to have been intentionally set, said Clark County Deputy Fire Marshal Curtis Eavenson.

Three people were asleep in the home and escaped unharmed when a smoke detector went off.

The fire is still under investigation.
