Portland Police was also investigating Cronin for a Robbery with a handgun. After positively identifying Cronin was inside the apartment, detectives notified Portland Police. Given the severity of Cronin's criminal history, Portland activated their SERT team. Portland SERT contained the apartment and evacuated nearby residences.
