"I note that Mock Crest Tavern was among a string of North Portland bars hit by armed robberies in recent weeks; KGW reported it as one of at least three incidents over a recent weekend and Monday, with similar robberies occurring between about 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. There were no injuries and no suspects have been named, and police say while there are similarities in the crimes there is no confirmed connection yet. The targeted bars, including this one, all have video poker machines, a detail that recalls a similar series of robberies in the summer of 2017." - Alex Frane
