OREGON CITY, Ore. — A man is wanted for vandalizing a building in Oregon City, according to the Oregon City Police Department. 

On April 9, at around 10:07 a.m., the Oregon City Police Department took a report regarding a vandalism incident at a building located in downtown Oregon City at 214 7th Street, according to the Oregon City Police Department. 

During the investigation, Oregon City police described the suspect as a white male believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, wearing dark clothes and a hooded sweatshirt. Officials believe he's responsible for spray-painting the side of the building. 

The suspect was also seen with another person who was later identified as a 15-year-old male teen, who was arrested for criminal mischief for other incidents of spray paint vandalism, according to Oregon City police.
