Shortly after midnight, Keizer police offi cers were dispatched to the business at 131 Menlo Dr. N., for a re- ported burglary On surveillance video, two suspects were observed enter- ing the business after breaking through the front entrance. The fi rst is described as a tall, white male adult in his thirties, with a thin build, and the second described as hav- ing a thin build. Wear masks in public Gov. Kate Brown is urging all Oregonians to wear face masks – homemade ones are fi ne – when in public spaces. “This is a rapidly-evolving situation, and each day we learn more about this virus,” said Brown. The CDC has updated its guidance regarding the use of homemade, cloth masks in public: wearing cloth masks in public places like grocery stores can help prevent those who are sick – particularly unknowingly infected, asymp- tomatic people – from spread- ing the virus further. A vehicle associated with the two was described as a gray, two-door sedan. Responding offi cers were unable to locate the car or the suspects in the area. Several laptops were stolen during the incident. Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to call Det. RJ Farrens at 503- 390-3713.
