The Anacortes Police Department responded to 152 calls between Dec. 2-8. These are some of them:Â
Friday, Dec. 2
• A Mount Vernon man reported a cold burglary at his business in the 8800 block of South March Point Road. He had noticed a hand dolly near a work vehicle near the entrance to the property. The location was odd to him, and it soon became apparent that numerous items were missing. He found a cut in the chain link fence in the same vicinity as the dolly. A truck was also broken into, and the reporting party noticed as he spoke to officers that some items from the truck were located nearby on the ground. Items taken from the business were valued at $3,540, along with damage to two chain link fences. The investigation continues.

Saturday, Dec. 3
• A woman reported that her car was stolen from the Guemes Island Ferry Terminal parking lot within the past 24 hours.Â
• A La Conner woman reported finding a bunch of red human hair that looked like it was ripped out of someone’s head in the bat cave on the north end of the park trail around the 1900 block of Cranberry Lake Road. Officers responded and observed what appeared to be auburn-colored wig hair or hair extensions, with no connective tissue within the hair. The officers noticed multiple piles and strands of hair laying on the ground within, none of which looked suspicious. There were also no signs of a crime having occurred.
