Coos County sheriff’s deputies are looking for three men in connection with a robbery off Cape Arago Highway, south of Empire.

At about 8:58 a.m. on Saturday, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office received a report from Wendy Berryman, 36, of 90888 Robertson Lane. She said three acquaintances had knocked out her roommate, Douglas Belcher, 46, and had stolen her television, a Wii video game unit, and other property, according to a sheriff’s office press log.

An “attempt to locate” bulletin has been posted in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties for Jason “Casper” Gay, 29, of Sun Valley, Nev.; Tim “Turtle” Machado, 28, of Lakeside; and Reedsport resident Dallas “Dizzy” Silva, 29.

Deputies believe they may be members of a start-up or copycat gang known as the Southsider Gang, said Sgt. Pat Downing.

Downing said the suspects would likely face charges of second-degree robbery, second-degree burglary, fourth-degree assault, second-degree theft, first-degree intimidation and coercion.
