WHO GOES THERE?
Tuesday, March 11, 7:10 p.m. A neighbor reported two suspicious individuals lurking around a house, doing the kind of aimless circling usually reserved for lost delivery drivers. The caller didn’t recognize them and had no idea why they were there. The mystery duo eventually wandered off toward Whatcom Street and vanished before deputies arrived. Nothing was taken, no crimes were committed. Rainier Street, La Conner.
THE SPRING SPORT OF SPEEDING
Thursday, March 13, 5:30 p.m. A request was made for extra patrols on Sixth Street between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to curb speeding and erratic driving. This is when spring sports practices wrap up, and apparently, some drivers think they’re in a race of their own. The only thing faster than a La Conner sprinter? A car trying to beat the after-practice traffic. La Conner High School.
A FRIEND IN NEED (OF A PHONE CHARGER?)
Saturday, March 15, 2 p.m. A resident called on behalf of a friend to report a boat break-in… sometime since December. A deputy responded, but the caller was nowhere to be found and didn’t pick up when called back. As of now, it’s unclear if anything was actually taken. La Conner.
SADLY, NOT JUST A LONG NAP
Tuesday, March 15, 12:20 p.m. Concerned neighbors requested a welfare check on someone living in an old house who hadn’t been seen in weeks. Deputies arrived and found the individual in bed, deceased. No signs of foul play, just a somber end to a quiet story. La Conner.
La Conner Community News does not publish the names or exact addresses of victims or the accused.
