PORTLAND, Ore. -- Police are searching for two men accused of breaking into several lottery machines at area businesses in recent weeks.

One man is described as white, in his 30s, 5 feet 9 inches tall and 220 pounds. He has brown hair and was last seen wearing long shorts and tennis shoes with a reflective strip down the top of each shoe, police said.

Another man is described as white, between 20 and 30 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall and 200 pounds.
