Whitehorse RCMP's plainclothes sleuths are investigating a break-in to the offices where the territory's probation officers work.

Staff are currently going through their offices and files to see if any private information has been touched, Sandy Bryce, the manager of the Victim Services/Family Violence Prevention Unit, said today.

Police aren't saying how entry was gained to the community justice and public safety office on Jarvis Street. It houses the probation department's offices as well as those belonging to counsellors and staff who work in the sexual offender treatment program.

The area of the building staffed by victim services and the family violence workers was secure and untouched, so all information kept about victims is safe, Bryce said.

'We're taking a really good look and assessing the situation, so people are going through their files and seeing what's missing,' Bryce said.

Offices had been rifled through and were left ransacked, she said, and a number of laptop computers were stolen.

However, most of the information stored on computers is kept on a separate server outside the building, said Bryce.

'We're somewhat at peace around that, but we're certainly looking at it,' she said about the security of private information.

'It's really important to us that we keep private information as secure as possible,' Bryce added, regarding the precautions of keeping computer-based data outside the building.

The break-in occurred last night.

Meanwhile, police aren't confirming whether the national police force is setting up a housekeeping service, but a Strickland Street resident got the housecleaning he asked the Mounties for.

Officers arrived at the apartment Sunday on an unrelated complaint, and were asked by the owner to clean the place out because of the party going on, said Sgt. John Sutherland.

Ever-obliging, the Mounties did a search and carted away a dust bunny, wanted for breaching his bail, after finding him in a closet.

The man is accused of breaking the no-alcohol clause in his bail conditions.

As well, some Dease Lake, B.C. residents' grocery shopping trip ended on a sour note that had nothing to do with milk gone bad.

The B.C. residents reported to the local RCMP that a vehicle parked at the Gold Rush Inn overnight last Thursday had been broken into, and $150 in groceries stolen.

The break-in occurred between 11:30 p.m. Thursday and 10:30 a.m. Friday.

The cross-country ski club is short some bills after a cash box vanished from the Mt. McIntyre Recreation Centre last week.

Reported Friday, the theft involved a couple hundred dollars. Two coats, one carrying a wallet, was were also taken from the recreation centre at about the same time.

Booster cables and a Canadian passport are on the missing list after a car break-in reported Friday.

The vehicle had been parked in an alley off the 4000-block of Fourth Avenue, said Sutherland. An orange backpack containing the passport and personal papers was stolen.

Finally, police officers have attended at least four Whitehorse homes since Friday to deal with family disturbances and assaults.

In one case, a man was arrested and charged with spousal assault.
