Man With Knife Robs Hotel Clerk
On Sunday, September 27th at approximately 2:15 p.m., a lone man threatened and robbed an employee at a Shilo Inn in Tigard. The hotel is located at 10830 SW Greenburg Rd.

Information obtained by Tigard Police indicates that the suspect entered and remained in the lobby area of the hotel for a few minutes prior to carrying out the robbery. While in the lobby area, the suspect had made occasional and casual inquiries about the hotel directed to the 28 year old female desk clerk that was working at the time. When no others were in the area, the suspect approached the victim, displayed a knife and demanded money. The robber then left with an undetermined amount of money and fled on foot.

The suspect is described as a white, 20s to early 30s, approximately 5'10" and thin build. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a dark green cap, blue jeans and a light brown sweatshirt. His face was pock-marked and unshaven. The suspect also had a black and yellow screwdriver tucked into the waistband of his pants.

Tigard Police contained the area immediately after the robbery was reported. A K-9 track was conducted with no suspect apprehended.

If anyone has information which could be helpful to investigators, they are asked to contact Tigard Police at 503-639-6168.
