Polk County deputies pursue persons of interest in burglary

Polk County deputies are asking the public's help in finding two men who are persons of interest in a burglary just south of Independence.

Two men were caught on surveillance video near the scene of the burglary in an unincorporated area between Independence and Highway 22 on Thursday, said Polk County Sheriff Mark Garton.

Garton said sheriff's officials are not releasing what was stolen at this time.

A 1989 Honda Accord that was reported stolen to the Independence Police Department was also captured on surveillance footage. The Accord has an Oregon license plate ZBN517.

Anyone with information about the burglary or the persons of interest should call the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 503-623-9251. Callers should reference case number 18-1018.

Those who see the stolen Accord should call 911.
