Portland police have released a description of an individual suspect they believe was involved in setting ballot boxes on fire in Oregon and Washington: a balding, middle aged man driving a dark-colored Volvo who they believe is likely to attempt to interfere with election materials again.

On Thursday, the Portland Police Bureau released a description of a suspect believed to have set fire to ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington, via press release. The man is said to be aged 30-40, bearing short or thinning hair with a thin to medium build. Police also expect him to be highly knowledgeable in welding, considering that they believe the device he used to ignite the ballot boxes was one he'd welded on his own.
