PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man was arrested after allegedly attempting to rob a bank in Tillamook early Friday afternoon.

Just after noon, Tillamook 911 received notice from an alarm company alerting them to a robbery in progress at a Wells Fargo Bank.

Officers, as well as Oregon State Police troopers and TCSO deputies then responded to the scene.

On arrival, they arrested Philip L. Rees for the attempted bank robbery and booked him into the Tillamook County Jail.

Officials say Rees is houseless and not a resident of the area.

As the investigation is ongoing, Tillamook police are encouraging anyone with information on the incident to come forward.

Where did he think he was going to go? There’s only two roads out of Tillamook, Hwy 101 north/south and Hwy 6 east. This bank is in the middle of Tillamook town!
