Sheriff investigating Eastsound break-ins

San Juan County Sheriff Ron Krebs said his office is investigating two Eastsound break-ins where tools were stolen.

In early February, tools from a job site on Haven Road were stolen. A few days later, tools from a locked shed at Orcas Athletics were also taken.

“We don’t have any suspects,” Krebs said. “The only similarities we have between the cases is that tools were taken … The deputies will be doing more foot patrol in these areas at night.”

In other burglary news, a residence on Switch Back Road was broken into sometime over the last two months. It is suspected the person was squatting in the home.

Krebs urges anyone with information to call the sheriff’s office at 378-4151.

“If something appears to be not right, please call us,” he said. “If you see something that makes the hair on the back your neck stand up, call us. We prefer to come over and look right away instead of being called later.”
