Alaska State Troopers investigated multiple incidents in the community of Emmonak at the end of the week, the trooper dispatch reported.

On Friday, troopers were informed of the theft of an ATV in the community. Before troopers could investigate the incident however, the ATV owner was able to locate and retrieve the all-terrain vehicle and reported no damage. Troopers are still encouraging the public to contact them concerning the incident.

Also on Friday, troopers received two additional reports in the community. A burglary report was received by troopers from Ryan Air. In that report, the door to that flight business was pried open and burglars entered the premises. Troopers continue to investigate that break-in and no details as to damage costs or items taken have been released.

A second break-in was reported on Friday. Grant Aviation called troopers to report that the door to their flight business had been kicked in during the evening. Troopers designated that incident as Criminal Mischief.[xyz-ihs snippet=”Adsense-responsive”]
