Police seek man who was acting suspiciously
Lewiston police are attempting to locate a man involved in a suspicious incident in the early morning hours Wednesday on the 1300 block of Ninth Avenue.
Lewiston Police Deputy Chief Roger Lanier said a video surveillance camera at an apartment building recorded a man coming up the stairwell. The man then spent about 45 minutes apparently loitering in the hallway between apartments.
It appeared the individual had a smoking pipe and was fiddling with something else, according to police.
After 45 minutes, the subject changed into all-black clothing and left. Police do not know if the man attempted illegal entry into any of the apartments.
Photos from the security footage are located at cityoflewiston.org/index.aspx?NID=1542. People who recognize the person are encouraged to call officer Terry Koeper at (208) 746-0171 or the tip line at (208) 298-3939.
