According to witness statements, the two male suspects pulled alongside two young juveniles who were walking in the area and verbally attempted to persuade them to enter the van
The Battle Ground Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the occupants of the silver minivan involved in a suspicious situation that occurred on August 2, 2025.
The event occurred at approximately 8:58 p.m., two white males, both believed to be between 16 and 20 years of age, were observed driving a silver minivan in the area of the 1300 block of NE 12th Avenue.
According to witness statements, the two male suspects pulled alongside two young juveniles who were walking in the area and verbally attempted to persuade them to enter the van. The juveniles reported that the suspects may have been armed. The van then fled the area, and the juveniles immediately went home and reported the incident to a parent, who contacted police.
At this time, it is unclear whether the suspects’ intent was a prank, an attempt to frighten the victims, or something more serious. Officers are seeking to identify and speak with the two individuals to determine the circumstances of the encounter.
The vehicle is described as a silver minivan, possibly a 2008–2015 Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey. The victims recalled that the vehicle’s license plate may have contained the number “7,” though no further details are available.
Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact Battle Ground Police Officer Ray Figuracion at (360) 342-5200, reference case #25-1161.
