Newberg-Dundee Police Department (NDPD) officers responded to a call about a guest being robbed at gunpoint by four individuals. The victim gave descriptions of the suspects to emergency dispatchers.
Soon after, an officer spotted a vehicle leaving the hotel parking lot. Police conducted a felony stop and detained all four occupants, who were then arrested.
