This evening at 9:27 pm, an individual was reported to attempt entry into the Nightwalker Bar through a top floor window. The individual did so under the guize of heavy fog, and was only noticed when a patron was moving through the room next door. When police arrived at the scene, there were signs of disruption on the roof shingles, however no entry was seen to have been made.When interviewed, the owner of the bar, Eugene Walker, stated that these sort of attempts were quite rare, and usually not as malicious as one would think. "We've had people try to get in before, and usually it was due to some incident of embarrassment. Sometimes patrons forget items that mean a lot to them, but they do not wish to admit owning."
Walker was primarily referring to an incident last year, when a former patron broke in to an empty room on the second floor, and was caught stuck in the window with a briefcase full of adult accessories and massage tools.
Local police are more worried than Walker, however. They state that the suspect was identified as "male, in his late teens." An investigator on duty was quoted as saying the suspect could be "some young punk looking to case a joint for a lark." The investigator wished to remain anonymous.
The man who saw the incident was another patron of the hotel, an old resident who is in the midst of moving to an apartment. He stated that his primary worry was "new blood coming in here and ruining the place for us locals." Despite his worries, police assured us that there has not been a statistical rise in crime since the latest flood of new residents.
When asked, Investigator Drogo stated: "Yeah, there's gonna be a rise in crime when more people move in. But it's not statistically relevant. You're no more likely to be a victim than you were before. Which, as my superiors have likely already told you, is proudly unlikely, as we are one of the safest regions of British Columbia."
