ROBBERY SUSPECT CAUGHT AFTER ALERT NEIGHBOR CALLS 911
News Release from Clark Co. Sheriff's Office
Posted on FlashAlert: November 2nd, 2017 4:04 PM
On 11/1/2017 at around 2pm, CCSO Deputies responded to the area of NE 102nd Avenue and NE 320th Street for a report of two subjects running from a car that had driven into a ditch.
This area is in a rural portion of Clark County, north of Battle Ground.
A check of the car's license plate revealed that the car was stolen, and the occupants of the vehicle had run earlier from Vancouver PD. The driver, identified as Rafael Loera-Luna, age 23 was wanted for Robbery, 1st Degree and Attempt to Elude.
Witnesses that had observed the two subjects running from the vehicle compared a photograph they had taken to that of one of Loera-Luna, and Deputies confirmed that Loera-Luna and an unidentified female had run from the vehicle.
A subsequent K-9 search of the area was unsuccessful in locating Loera-Luna or the female, and CRESA 911 sent a pre-recorded message to residences in the area regarding the Sheriff's Office search for Loera-Luna.
Today, at 11am, an alert resident in the 32200 block of NE 102nd Avenue contacted 911 and reported a male subject matching Loera-Luna's description saying he was lost and asked to use a cell phone charger. The 911 caller stated that the male subject was shivering and disheveled. The alert resident recalled the previous days' police activity and CRESA 911 message.
CCSO Deputies responded to the area and located Loera-Luna outside of a nearby residence. He was taken into custody without incident. It was determined the female occupant of the vehicle had obtained a ride home the previous day.
Loera-Luna was booked into the CCLEC on the above listed charges, as well as Possession of Stolen Property.
Many thanks to the neighbors who assisted us in apprehending this subject!
