MEDICAL LAKE, WA. -- A thief broke into the construction site of the new Veteran’s Cemetery in Medical Lake over the weekend and stole a pair of Patron-brand electric heaters valued at more than $700 apiece.

A Bouten Construction employee told Deputy Marc Melville that the site had been closed December 11th at about 4 p.m.  When workers arrived Monday, they found a plywood cover on the north door that was held in place with nails rather than the screws originally used by construction employees.   

The two heaters had been stolen from inside.

The construction site is located at 21702 W. Espanola Road. 

Anyone with information about the theft is encouraged to call Crime Check at 456-2233.

A crime like this is no doubt related, in some way, to drugs. If we are to make Spokane County a safe place to live and raise families we must do something. An easy way to help is to contact your legislature and let them know that cuts in helping get people off drugs is making the public susceptible to such crimes. For every $1 we spend now on getting people off drugs we save taxpayers $7-10 later in police work, courts, jail, emergency rooms, etc. This is a documented fact. Go to http://apps.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder/ and send an email it really is easy to do.
