Description

New details are emerging about explosive devices placed in ballot boxes early Monday in Portland and Vancouver, Washington.

At a news conference Wednesday, Portland police released their first description of the suspect. Agency spokesperson Mike Benner said they believe the person is a white male, between 30 and 40 years old.

A ballot drop box in at the Fishers Landing Transit Center in Vancouver was set ablaze early Monday morning, destroying hundreds of ballots.

“We believe this suspect has a wealth of experience in metal fabrication,” Benner said. “It’s very possible the suspect continues targeted attacks across the area.”

Benner said law enforcement believes the same person is connected to both incidents Monday, as well as a third incident that took place on Oct. 8 in Vancouver in which the incendiary device did not go off.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
