The Sandy Police Department has identified the suspect of the carjacking on March 15th as 23 year old Carlos Sanchez. Mr. Sanchez has ties to Sandy and Lebanon, Oregon but is suspected to be in/around the Portland Metro Area. A picture of Mr. Sanchez and a police sketch compiled with help from the victim accompanies this release. If you see Mr. Sanchez, call 911 and do not approach him. Carlos Sanchez is considered armed and has active arrest warrants. Mr. Sanchez may still be in possession of the victim’s stolen car, a Gray 2004 Toyota Camry with Oregon plate 381NBX. Non-urgent tips about the location of Mr Sanchez or the car can be called in to Clackamas County Non-Emergency Dispatch at 503-655-8211 so that an on-duty officer can take the information.
UPDATE: On 3/15/23 Sandy Police received a report of a vehicle taken at gunpoint at about 4:20 PM from the parking lot of Meinig Park. Initially, the victim reported that a stranger had stolen his gray 2004 Toyota Camry with Oregon license 381NBX. Officers located the vehicle near the intersection of Van Fleet Avenue and Wolf Drive and attempted to stop it near the intersection of Highway 211 and 362nd Drive. The vehicle fled from officers. Due to reckless driving behaviors by the suspect and the high volume of traffic present on the roadway at the time, officers terminated their pursuit of the vehicle. The vehicle was last seen near the intersection of Highway 211 and Judd Road. We now know that the suspect was known to the victim and he has been identified. Based on our investigation to this point, we do not believe this suspect is currently a threat to the citizens of Sandy. This is an active investigation and no additional information will be released to protect the integrity of the investigation.
