PORTLAND, Ore. – Four more suspects were taken into custody Thursday after a brazen robbery at a Southeast Portland Fred Meyer.

Clackamas County deputies said just after 10:30 p.m. a group of five males went into the store on Southeast 82nd and Johnson Creek Blvd, and grabbed around $1,000 worth of Blu Ray discs and took off.

Security guards tried to stop one of the suspects in the parking lot, but another suspect pulled a handgun, and the officers were unable to detain him or get back any of the discs.

Sheriff's spokesman Jim Strovink said one suspect turned himself in, the other three were taken into custody. Strovink was awaiting further details in the case.

No one was hurt and no shots were fired during the robbery.
