Thanks to a public tip and diligent police work, investigators identified the suspect as 22-year-old Elijah Evans
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in connection with the Monday (Aug. 18) robbery at the US Bank located at 6704 NE 117th Avenue in Vancouver.
Thanks to a public tip and diligent police work, investigators identified the suspect as 22-year-old Elijah Evans.
On Thursday (Aug. 21) at about 9 p.m., the Clark County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Detective Unit (TDU), with assistance from the Vancouver Police Department’s Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), conducted surveillance and located Evans at a residence in Orchards.
With additional support from CCSO and VPD patrol units, containment was established around the home, and an armored vehicle was positioned for safety. Evans exited the residence and was taken into custody without incident.
Detectives executed a search warrant at the residence and recovered key evidence, including clothing worn during the robbery and cash taken from the bank.
Deputies arrested Evans for Robbery in the First Degree (with a firearm) and two counts of Felony Harassment. They transported him to the Clark County Jail, where staff booked him on these charges.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the public for their assistance and the valuable tip that led to the swift identification and arrest of the suspect.
