Officers responded to a burglary in the 4500 block of Yorkshire Drive just before 2 p.m. Friday, April 25.

A resident had been away from his home less than two hours when he returned to find his back door pried open and numerous items taken, including a camcorder, digital camera, beer, a $10 bill and coins from a collection.

Officers ask anyone who might have seen any suspicious activity in the area to call the tip line at 299-1985.

Among the other 206 cases handled by Anacortes police during the previous week:

Saturday, April 19
• Swinomish Officers asked Anacortes police to check a motel in the 2000 of Commercial Avenue for a woman who was involved in some suspected illegal activity at the casino. Officers did not locate the woman. They did find a 20-year-old Anacortes man who had three outstanding misdemeanor warrants from various courts in Skagit County. He was arrested without incident.

• A woman working at a restaurant in the 400 block of Commercial Avenue reported her cell phone was stolen last night as she was assisting a man. She explained the man came in looking for a coat hanger as he locked his keys in his car. She retrieved one for him and after he left she noticed her cell phone missing from where she had left it. A rust colored Dodge Dakota truck was seen leaving the area and may be involved.

• A resident in the 2800 block of Morton Avenue reported eight gallons of gasoline was siphoned from his vehicle overnight. There are no suspects.

• Two 19-year-old Burlington men were cited for minor in possession/consumption of alcohol after police responded to a fight at the intersection of Eighth Street and Commercial Avenue around 10:40 p.m. Officers contacted the two men who were yelling at a third subject inside a building. The men appeared intoxicated and allegedly admitted to officers they had been drinking.

Sunday, April 20
• Officers and animal control responded to the 2400 block of Forest Park Lane after residents reported a loose pit bull dog running in and out of traffic and acting aggressively toward people walking around 10:30 a.m. Officers recognized the dog, who was previously deemed potentially dangerous. The owner opted to put the dog down rather than face charges of allowing a dangerous dog to run loose. The charge carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.

• A man was caught on video as he broke open a bill changer at a car wash on Christianson Road overnight. Police viewed the video with the owner and did not recognize the man. The business owner will copy the footage and give it to officers for further review. The man got away with a small amount of cash.

Monday, April 21

• A 32-year-old Anacortes man was arrested on two outstanding warrants for failure to appear on negligent driving and DUI charges. He was arrested in the 1300 block of Dakota after an officer spotted the man driving a blue minivan. He was also cited for driving without a license and no insurance before being booked into the jail.

• A woman in the 2200 block of M Avenue was checking through her bank statement and discovered a debit for $242 to a satellite TV company that she does not subscribe to. She informed her bank and was credited back the money. A detective got a search warrant to obtain information on the satellite TV customer. The investigation is continuing.

Tuesday, April 22
• Officers assisted the Island County Sheriff’s Office with serving a search warrant on a vehicle parked in the 3100 block of Commercial Avenue. The car belonged to an Oak Harbor man. The car and the man were taken back to Island County by the deputies.

• An Anacortes school bus was not carrying any passengers when it was struck from behind at 12th Street and Alaska just after noon. Neither driver was hurt but the 61-year-old East Sound woman whose 2002 Ford truck collided with the bus was cited for following too closely.

• A barking dog in the 6000 block of Sands Way caused one neighbor to become so upset he reportedly assaulted the dog’s owner around 9 p.m. The 37-year-old Anacortes man was cited for assault after he allegedly stuck the dog’s owner in the face after confronting him about the barking.

• A 19-year-old Anacortes man was cited for underage drinking after an officer on routine patrol saw a suspicious vehicle at the Guemes Ferry Terminal just before midnight. The officer found the 19-year-old and a friend sitting in the car. The man showed obvious signs of intoxication and was cited.
