Whitehorse RCMP are warning Kwanlin Dun First Nation residents in the McIntyre subdivision of two recent break and enters in the neighbourhood, one involving a man being attacked with a blunt object.

Const. Jeff Monkman said Thursday that at 1:14 that morning, police were called to a home where the resident had been assaulted with what seems to have been a blunt object while he was sleeping. The thief got away with jewelry.

Monkman said the investigation hasn't made it clear yet what type of blunt object (such as a club or bat) might have been used in the attack.

The resident was taken to hospital with three lacerations to his head, said Val Pike, a Whitehorse General Hospital spokeswoman.

That call came less than two days after a thief broke into the first nation's community justice building and stole a desktop computer. That report came in to police at 6 a.m. Tuesday.

At this point in the investigation, it's unknown if there were confidential files on the computer, though it's password-protected, Monkman said.

It's believed only one person has access to the password.

It's not known if the two incidents are related.

As police continue their interviews for the file, they're working on coming up with a description of the suspect or suspects involved.

Police are encouraging residents to use security measures in protecting their property. They can include locking doors, keeping valuables out of sight and engraving or noting serial numbers for valuables and electronics.

Also, it's advised, encourage neighbours to keep an eye on the residence and report any suspicious activity to police.

Anyone with information on the two incidents is asked to call the RCMP at 667-5571 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
