Police: Armed teens rob NE Portland store
PORTLAND, Ore. – Police are searching for two teenage boys who they said robbed a convenience store Tuesday night in Northeast Portland.
It happened just before 9 p.m. at the Cully Mini Mart, located at 4318 NE Cully Blvd., police said.
The store clerk told police two boys who appeared to be 16 or 17 years old entered the store and demanded money.
One of the boys was armed with a large shotgun, while the other had a large knife, police said.
The first suspect was described as a light-skinned boy who was 5’9’’ tall and wore all black clothing. He had a Halloween-type mask, police said.
The other suspect was described as a light-skinned boy who was 5’5’’ tall with a thin build. He also wore a Halloween-type mask.
Police searched the neighborhood, but could not find the suspects.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call robbery detectives at 503-823-0405.
just a couple at-risk youth. society keeps letting them down. shame on us
 @Phuzz And I feel guilty as hell that they've been let down. It's one of those problems only an EBT card can cure. You know that they tried so hard in school but the evil white conservatives blocked them at every turn. Just the man keepin us down, yo.
should replace the word "boy" with the word "male" in your descriptions! You have offended every male teen 13 and older by using the word boy.
Is "light" the new politically correct work for "white" or does it mean a mixed blood black or Mexican?Â
All these reports make it sound like NE Portland has become a real, lawless slum. Sad.
You couldn't pay me enough to work in one of those "stop and rob" places!
 @jpk Don't you mean ROB and GO places. :)
Nope!
It is getting worse it seems. Some "teens" who decide they want to be big bad thieves and rob someone while armed. Some store owners just might oblige their learning by shooting them in self defense. Then their parents would probably sue the store owner though.
It makes you wonder what these idiots are thinking.
Luckily no innocent people were injured this time. Hopefully LE will catch them and perhaps give them a lasting lesson.
SPANK YOUR CHILDREN! I was spanked while growing up, and it made me terrified of getting in trouble. Kids these days are out of control.Â
Such a rough neighborhood. Luckily no one was hurt, including the teens. If I owned a convenience store in that area I'd duct tape a pistol to my hand and never turn my back on anyone. Curious, is light skinned the new word for white, Hispanic, or mixed? Maybe we should stop identifying by skin color and go straight to the race of the suspect.Â
 @Lips Sounds like maybe enough was covered by clothes and mask that all the victim could identify was light or dark. After all, he identified a "large shotgun". I would bet that in the situation were it was pointed at him, anyone would identify the shotgun as "large".
 @Lips You know they aren't black...KATU used the word "boy" twice in the descriptions
Two future occupiers/liberals. Demanding stuff that's not theirs.
 @Beergod That is a comment that says much about your ignorance.
Thank goodness no one was hurt. I hope someone can come forward with information that will lead to the arrest of these suspects. These boys are so young to be this messed up in life. Very tragic, but I hope they are apprehended soon and held accountable for their crimes.
Were they light-skinned like Edgar and Johnny Winter?
 @Dirtman Try cordoning off Albina Street to catch them then.
 @xilef regnu Ha Ha - Good one!
 @xilef regnu  @Dirtman When was the last time you were on Albina?
 @Old29  @Dirtman Never. It was a play on the word "albino" which Edgar and Johnny Winter are.Â

Sad excuse for humor on my part...
fine teens want to use guns like adults then they should get shot like adults.
