A coffee shop that hosted a "Coffee with a Cop" event was vandalized this morning, and officers are asking for information from the public to locate the suspects involved.
On Wednesday, October 5, 2022 at 2:51a.m., North Precinct officers responded to a report of a vandalism at a coffee shop in the 3900 Block of Northeast Cully Boulevard. When they arrived, they found windows had been broken, property damaged, and white debris from a discharged fire extinguisher throughout the interior.
The suspects were no longer at the scene and officers did not immediately make arrests. An investigation began. Early information suggests that the business was targeted after it advertised that it would be hosting "Coffee with a Cop."
PPB is asking that anyone who has information about this crime or the suspects involved, please e-mail crimetips@police.portlandoregon.gov and reference case number 22-267489.
Some of the responding officers assisted with the cleanup efforts. The business owner stated that she wanted to proceed with the Coffee with a Cop event, and it went forward as planned this morning (photos). PPB is grateful to the business owner for hosting and giving officers and the community an opportunity to interact and discuss public safety issues.
