A popular Southeast Portland dive bar was robbed Tuesday night, two days after someone in disguise struck another watering hole, making at least 12 bars to be robbed in the city’s east or north sides since November.

The gunman walked into The Vern, in the 2600 block of Southeast Belmont Street, about 9:30 p.m. and fled before officers arrived, said Nola Watts, a Portland Police Bureau spokeswoman.

According to dispatch records, the suspect was wearing a mask.

Messages to bar, formerly known as Hanigan’s Tavern, were not immediately returned.

On Sunday, a masked bandit also struck the Bear Paw Inn in the 3200 block of Southeast Milwaukie Avenue at nearly the exact same time, police and bar staff said.

No injuries have been reported or arrests made in any of the dozen stickups.

The previous attacks generally took place early in the week and late at night. Some have involved two robbers while others just one.
