ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Anchorage nonprofit that helps people with disabilities has been contending with thefts and vandalism during the Christmas season.
The ARC of Anchorage says donation bins have been raided and delivery truck fuel tanks have been trained.
It’s been happening at least twice a week, most recently on Christmas Eve.
KTVA-TV reports the thefts and damage have run into the thousands of dollars.
Operations Manager Ian Casey says Anchorage police are investigating.
Casey says the thieves are taking donated clothes and other household items away from people who have developmental disabilities.
The organization is asking people to put items in the donation bins during business hours, when they’re checked regularly.
