Electronics, food and toilet paper among items stolen BY SEAN HART HERMISTON HERALD The Umatilla Chamber of Com- merce was ransacked this week, and a wide variety of items were stolen, from electronics to toilet paper. Executive Director Karen Hutchin- son-Talaski said her assistant arrived Tuesday and discovered someone had thrown a large rock through the front door and trashed the facility on Cline Avenue. Hutchinson-Talaski said a safe with $60 in petty cash, two comput- ers, a printer, two monitors, speak- ers, a television and DVD player, a portable heater and a vacuum clean- er were stolen, along with a gas can, a jar of peanut butter, a box of mac- aroni and cheese, six rolls of paper towels and all but one roll of toilet paper. “I can’t believe they took the toilet paper,” she said. “It’s not like they’re regular rolls of toilet paper. They’re the big ones you see in stores and restaurants. There were like 15 rolls back there. It’s really weird. It’s just bizarre.” She estimated the value of the sto- len items to be between $3,000 and $4,000. She said the perpetrators were pre- paring to steal other items, as well, including a third computer and a bag full of cleaning supplies. “They got interrupted, I think, be- cause they left some stuff,” Hutchin- son-Talaski said. “It looked like they were getting ready to take the refrig- erator too because they had unplugged everything.” Fortunately, she said all of the data on the computers was saved on the cloud, so that information is not lost. Hutchinson-Talaski said Umatilla Police Department investigated the VFHQH DQG RI¿FHUV ZHUH DEOH WR ¿QG ¿QJHUSULQWV “I have faith in the police depart- ment, and I really feel like they’re going to get these guys,” she said. “It may not be tomorrow, and it may not be next week, but I think they’re go- ing to catch them.” Umatilla Police Chief Darla Huxel was not available to comment.
