The Haines SEARHC clinic. (Google Maps)
The Haines SEARHC clinic was broken into sometime between closing Thursday evening and early Friday morning.
Haines Police have notified first responders in the community in case any potentially dangerous drugs were taken that could result in emergencies. The clinic is still assessing what was stolen.
Clinic Administrator Pat Hefley said it appeared that the emergency room was most damaged by the break-in. He said it didn’t look like the perpetrator got into the pharmacy.
The break-in caused the clinic to delay opening by two hours Friday morning.
By about 11 a.m. Friday, Hefley said business was back to normal. He said damaged areas were cleaned up and supplies that looked to be taken were getting restocked.
Police encourage anyone who has information that may relate to the case to contact the department.
No security cameras in a facility like this? How back woods.
Our community has been making news, for sometime now! Sad the people whom are criminal elements have discovered, where we use to feel was safe, a great place to raise our families. The police have my full support, clean
Up our streets, our town, our criminals! Get those help, who need it, just keep our homes protected first, thank you, Haines Borough Police Department.
I thought that this kind of thing really only happened on the larger cities. It’s dismaying to hear beautiful, little Haines is now becoming just as corrupted. It’s sure changed sadly it seems, since I moved in ”06.
Strange that they even broke in, but wonder why? First instinct is that someone was trying to get medicine. Maybe not though? What were they doing there?
They’ll catch them, haines always does it may take some time they’ll cathch them.
Wow! Hard to believe our little town is experiencing this kind of thing. I hope those who know who did this (and someone does!) report it. These people need some help.
