NARRATIVE:
On February 7, 2018, at 2:35am, deputies with the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to an audible burglary alarm at Ferguson's Market in Terrebonne; 8150 N. Highway 97. Arriving deputies found the front door had been smashed and entry had been made into the business. Deputies searched the interior of Ferguson's Market, but the suspects had already fled the scene.
K9 Masa and her handler Deputy Ben Bartness responded to the location and were able to track the unknown suspects to the southwest from the business. However, the track was lost in the area of the Rustic Ranch Mobile Park; 8045 N Highway 97.
Deputies have worked with the Ferguson's Market to obtain video surveillance from the burglary. We are releasing three still images with the hope the public can assist us with identifying and locating the suspects.
The suspects are described as three unknown males believed to be in their teens or early 20's. All three were wearing long sleeved shirts, shorts, hats and had masks covering their faces. If the public has any information about this burglary or can assist us with identifying any of the suspects in the surveillance images, they are asked to call non-emergency dispatch at 541-693-6911, reference case 18-36444.
Additionally, we would like to thank the Redmond Police Department for their assistance last night during the investigation.
