Armed Robbery At Subway Tuesday Morning Marks 2nd Of The Day

PORTLAND, OR — An armed robbery at a Southeast Portland Subway shop has police searching for two suspects Tuesday morning.

East Precinct officers from the Portland Police Bureau were dispatched at 4:45 a.m. April 10 to 2411 S.E. 122nd Ave. following reports of an armed robbery.
