Through tips from the public, detectives identified the suspect as Ryan Frisbie
VANCOUVER — On Dec. 21, 2024, Vancouver Police responded to a bank robbery at the Bank of America at 1145 SE 164th Ave. During the robbery, a male entered the bank, presented a note and implied that he had a firearm. The suspect fled the bank and was not located by police.
Vancouver Police Department Major Crimes Unit investigators obtained a photo from surveillance video and on Dec. 30 posted that photo of the suspect on the VPD X channel. Through tips from the public, detectives identified the suspect as Ryan Frisbie. Detectives learned Frisbie was the suspect in at least two other bank robberies in the Portland/metro area. Investigators also obtained a photo of the vehicle associated with him, which was an RV/Motorhome. A photo of that vehicle was distributed to patrol officers along with information on the robberies.
On Friday (Jan. 24) a Vancouver Police patrol officer noticed an RV in the parking lot of a Vancouver gas station that resembled the vehicle associated with Frisbie. As the RV left the lot, the officer followed, confirmed it was a match for the bank robbery suspect vehicle and Vancouver Police patrol officers conducted a high-risk traffic stop in the area of SE 160th Avenue and took the driver into custody. The driver was identified as Ryan Frisbie. He was booked into the Clark County Jail for Robbery I.
The investigation is continuing.
