Media Release January 30, 2026 Bank Robbery Suspects Detained - Final Update At approximately 11:48am, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a bank robbery at Columbia Bank in Depoe Bay, Oregon. Callers reported two armed adult males concealing their faces entered the bank and held staff at gun point, demanding access to the vault. Columbia Bank reported the two successfully obtained more than $50,000 in US currency before fleeing south on Highway 101 in a red sedan without license plates. The red suspect vehicle was abandoned at a vacant lot near NE Stanley and E. Collins Street in Depoe Bay. The vehicle was set on fire. The suspects were seen getting into a grey 4 door Toyota and left the area west as reported by a nearby resident. At approximately 12:51pm, Newport Police spotted a grey Toyota Camry near Don Davis Park in Newport, Oregon. Witnesses reported seeing two men leave the grey Toyota Camry on foot. During a search of the area, Newport Police spotted a white male adult matching the description of one of the suspects at the intersection Hwy 101 and Hwy 20. The subject was contacted and detained. A short time later, the second male was spotted at Nye Beach and detained as well. A subsequent canvas of the nearby area around the vehicle revealed clothing found in a public trash can that matched the clothing worn by the suspects in the bank. NPD K9 Officer Magnum and K9 Sly were used to search the area of Don Davis park and its related trails up to Nye Beach. A large backpack matching the description used in the bank robbery was located and seized. A search warrant for the involved Toyota Camry and backpack was applied for and granted. A search of the items located over $50,000 in cash and two weapons. Franco Armando Mereno Jr. age 37 of Portland and Jonathon F. Schwentner age 43 of Canby were lodged at the Lincoln County Jail and charged with Robbery I, Kidnap II and Aggravated Theft. This incident is under investigation by the Lincoln County Major Crime Team. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Oregon State Police, Newport Police Department, Lincoln City Police Department, and Toledo Police Department.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Firefighter Appreciation Day For 135 years, the Coos Bay Fire Department has stood ready to protect lives, property, and our shared sense of community. From its earliest days to the highly trained, modern department we rely on today, the mission has remained the same: service, safety, and commitment to Coos Bay. One of the strengths of the department is its investment in the future of the fire service. Through its apprentice and student programs, Coos Bay Fire provides hands-on training opportunities for individuals interested in careers in firefighting and emergency medical services. These programs help build a skilled workforce while mentoring the next generation of public servants right here at home. The department also continues to modernize its equipment to meet the demands of today’s emergencies. The addition of a new 100’ aerial truck enhances firefighting capabilities, improves firefighter safety, and expands the department’s ability to respond effectively to structure fires, rescues, and other complex incidents throughout the community. Emergency medical response remains a critical part of what Coos Bay Fire does every day. Coos Bay Fire has 12 paramedics, and the other four are EMT or higher. Firefighters are often the first on scene for medical emergencies, providing life-saving care when seconds matter most. Having that many paramedics on staff ensures our citizens receive advanced care. Beyond city boundaries, the department provides services to Bunker Hill, Timber Park, and the Libby area through contracts. Our fire department supports neighboring areas when resources are stretched or emergencies escalate. In addition, wildland fire response is a focus, training and deploying personnel to help protect lives and property during fire season, both locally and across the region when needed. Service doesn’t stop at emergency response. The department is deeply involved in community support, lending time, expertise, and personnel to assist local organizations and events. From the annual Christmas Tree Pickup, which helps residents safely dispose of trees after the holidays, to participation with the Holiday Lights at Shore Acres, firefighters consistently show up as community leaders and partners. Each year, Firefighter Appreciation Day offers a meaningful opportunity to recognize the dedication, professionalism, and sacrifices made by these men and women. Their work is demanding, often dangerous, and always essential; and it is made possible through teamwork, training, and an unwavering commitment to public service. As Coos Bay Fire Department marks its 135th anniversary, the community can take pride in a department that honors its history while continually preparing for the future. Thank you to all who have served—and continue to serve—in keeping Coos Bay safe. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay Featured News by City of Coos Bay
