Detectives Seek Tips on Weekend Robbery

Jackson County Sheriff's Office

WHITE CITY, Ore. – Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) detectives are investigating an early-morning robbery that occurred over the weekend.  Detectives say it happened at a property where cannabis production is taking place.

On Saturday, March 23, 2019, at 2:12 a.m., JCSO deputies responded to a 911 report of a strong-arm robbery in the 3200-block of Dodge Road.  The occupants were restrained by at least two armed men.  The suspects reportedly stole property from the residence and fled in a vehicle before JCSO deputies arrived.  The suspects were described as white (possibly Hispanic) men, approximately six feet tall, wearing dark clothing and tactical gear.
