Rash of break-ins

Including at Skyline Hospital

November 14, 2012

The Bingen-White Salmon Police Department is investigating a break-in at Skyline Hospital that occurred Nov. 3 or Nov. 4 and resulted in the theft of two monitors and a computer tower from the kitchen valued at around $1,000.

Investigating Officer Jim Andring said a kitchen employee reported the burglary. He said police had no suspects last week but they believe two individuals were involved and that one entered the hospital through a kitchen window and passed the items out to the other.

"We have some evidence we're working with," Andring said. "We're doing some follow-up investigation and hoping to develop more information."

He added, "We find it's a little odd that somebody went into a building that's occupied 24 hours a day and pulled this off."
