Coos Bay Burglar Arrested
CBPD release – A Coos Bay male was arrested for burglarizing a Coos Bay home, stealing two firearms, and fleeing from officers. On May 30, 2024, around 11:00 a.m., the Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) responded to a report of a suspicious man seen carrying two rifle cases near Newmark Ave. and N. Schoneman St. CBPD officers checked the area but were unable to find the man. About an hour later, officers received a report of burglary at a home in the 900 block of Maryland Ave. The resident had found the door forced open and reported that two guns had been stolen. The officers believed these two reports were related and responded to search for the suspect and review neighborhood surveillance footage. While CBPD officers were searching in the area, citizens waved down an officer from the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indian Tribal Police. The citizens told the officer that the suspect had been spotted walking on N. Schoneman St. with a gun concealed in his pants, then seen again running through a yard holding a gun. One citizen recognized the suspect as Benjamin Anderson, 45, of Coos Bay. Officers continued their search for Mr. Anderson, eventually finding him holding a gun at N. Cammann St. and Harris Ave. after receiving a 9-1-1 call about his whereabouts. Mr. Anderson fled from officers through neighborhood yards and fences, discarding the observed gun. Following a brief chase and struggle, Mr. Anderson was arrested. Due to Mr. Anderson’s continued resistive behavior, he was placed in the WRAP system for his and the officer’s safety. Officers found and recovered both stolen guns. Mr. Anderson was arrested and transported to the Coos County Jail on the below-listed charges: • Burglary 1; • Theft 1; • Possession of Weapons by Certain Felons; • Possession of Weapons by Certain Felons; • Escape 3; • Criminal Mischief 3. The CBPD was aided during this investigation by the Confederated Tribes of Coos Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indian Tribal Police, Coquille Tribal Indian Police, Coos Bay Fire Department, and Bay Cities Ambulance.
