Gresham, Ore.— Gresham Police is asking for the person suspected of being a victim of a robbery to come forward. Officers responded to a 911 call from a passerby, who reported witnessing an apparent armed pedestrian robbery, in the 18100 block of SE Division St., Tuesday at approximately 7:30 p.m. The witness reported seeing the robbery suspect get into the passenger seat of a white BMW and gave the direction of travel to dispatchers.
Gresham Police Officers were already in the area teaming up with Portland Police Bureau on a Stolen Vehicle Operation (SVO). Officers quickly located a vehicle that matched the description leaving the area and attempted to stop it. The driver of the vehicle attempted to elude officers at a high rate of speed. Officers pursued the vehicle and used spike strips to deflate the tires of the vehicle. The vehicle eventually stopped in the area of NE 162Ave. and NE Glisan St.
The driver, Angel Jimenez-Gonzalez, 18, of Gresham was arrested and lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center on suspicion of Attempt to Elude, Reckless Driving, and Reckless Endangering. Police officers recovered evidence that matched the account of the witness. The investigation into the passenger’s involvement in a suspected robbery is ongoing and officers are asking for the victim or anyone with information to come forward.
