BURGLARY CHEHALIS

• Someone broke into two sheds belonging to the Lewis County Historical Museum over the weekend and removed items as yet unknown, according to the Chehalis Police Department. An officer called yesterday to take the report from the 500 block of Front Street is waiting for a list of missing property, according to police.

• Chehalis police were called about 5:15 p.m. yesterday when a burglary was discovered at the 300 block of Southwest Ninth Street. A resident returned home to find the front door unlocked and is missing an iPad, clothing, credit cards and a jewelry box, according to the Chehalis Police Department.

(ALMOST) UP IN SMOKE

• Firefighters were relieved and probably so were the owners of a business they were called to yesterday evening. The crew was dispatched about 5:40 p.m. to the building at the 300 block of Northwest State Street where employees said they had been smelling smoke for about an hour before finding its source, according to the Chehalis Fire Department. They went upstairs and discovered a towel smoldering, a cigarette had dropped onto it, Fire Investigator Derrick Paul said. They put water on it and put it outside, he said. “The important thing is, these guys had no smoke detectors,” Paul said. “There’s a multi-million dollar business that could have burned.” Paul said the Green Vault, a marijuana processor, may have had detectors elsewhere in the building, but there was none in the break room where they smoke. The only damage was to the carpet, he said.

AND MORE

• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, driving under the influence; responses for alarm, dispute, shoplifting, hit and run, suspicious person, collision on city street, dog pooping on neighboring apartment complex property … and more, among 159 calls for local law enforcement and / or fire-emergency medical services in the 24-hour period ending about 6:40 a.m. today.
