A man in Portland is suspected of robbing both a food cart and a specialty store just days apart. Also, he allegedly enlisted the help of a young boy to carry out the crime.

On Saturday around 6:30 p.m., the man and the young child entered The Meadow store, and while the adult male grabbed an employee and held her down, the young boy went behind the cash register and retrieved cash. They both left by foot, and no one was seriously injured after the theft took place.

Days prior to the specialty store robbery, Portland police believe the same two suspects robbed a food cart in a similar fashion. They have released information on both suspects, asking residents of the city for help with their discovery.

Oregon church members reported that a burglary occurred overnight at their church, and seven air conditioning systems were stolen.

The East County Church had eight separate heating and air conditioning units installed three years ago. Each unit was worth an estimated $9,000. There is only one standing air conditioning unit left.

Police believe that the individuals responsible for the theft were aware of their actions. Each piece of equipment weighed approximately 300 pounds, and the thieves knew which wires to cut on the units. Police are still investigating the theft.
