The FBI is still unable to identify the suspect responsible for the ballot box fire in Washington and Oregon, as an explosion was captured on surveillance video.

An unknown suspect was caught on camera setting a ballot drop box on fire with an incendiary device in Portland, one of several incidents that took place in Oregon and Washington state prior to the 2024 presidential election.

The suspect is a White male aged between 30 and 40, with short hair and a balding head. It is believed he has some experience with metalwork and welding.

The footage reveals a dark Volvo S-60 sedan from the early 2000s, with dark wheels and a light interior, driving up to the box. Officials stated that the vehicle does not have a Volvo logo on the front grill.

The vehicle involved in the Oct. 28 incident displayed a fraudulent temporary Washington state license plate on the rear and no front license plate. The plate, which is not associated with a Volvo, may no longer be on the vehicle, officials said.

The first ballot box fire took place in Vancouver, Washington, on Oct. 8 between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m., according to the FBI. Despite this, no ballots were harmed in the incident.

On Oct. 28, two more incidents happened in Vancouver and Portland between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. In Vancouver, hundreds of ballots were destroyed in the drop box, while officials stated that three were damaged in Portland.

In Vancouver, the fire suppression system inside a ballot box malfunctioned, resulting in the destruction of more ballots.

All three fires were caused by improvised incendiary devices placed on the outside of boxes. Investigators found enough evidence to link all three incidents.

Just days before Election Day, Greg Kimsey, the Clark County Auditor, labeled the incident as "an assault on democracy."

A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered by authorities for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
