Here's an item from my local paper today:


Yavapai County deputies are asking for the public's help in solving a burglary at the Oak Creek Valley Medical Clinic on Feb. 25, deputies said in a press release.

The clinic is in the 6400 block of Highway 179 in the Village of Oak Creek.

The office manager called deputies after she found the clinic's back door ajar and discovered the office keys missing and lights inside the building turned on, the release said.






When deputies searched the clinic, they found an examination table made up like a bed, indicating that someone had slept there. The manager also found a computer, monitor and keyboard missing, and two sandwiches from the refrigerator had disappeared.

The clinic's front door was unlocked and a rock was propping it open.

Deputies believe employees likely locked the suspect inside the business when they closed the clinic the previous night. The suspect then used the office keys to let himself out with the computer equipment, deputies theorize. Deputies don't yet have the computer brand name and description, the release said.

The suspect likely is male, the release continued, because the toilet seat in the employee restroom was left in the raised position.

Anyone with information should call deputies at 771-3260 or Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232.
