The Bloodmobile just arrived and it's getting set up for today's blood drive. Today is a packed schedule, but the staff have assured that there will be room for walk-ins if an appointment hadn't been made. If you are free today please come in from 11am-3pm and donate, maybe even do a Power Red donation which yields double the units without taking additional blood.

Donors are moving through at a decent pace this morning! That means there is plenty room for that last minute walk in appointment to come donate. If you have the time, ask about doing a POWER RED donation. This special type of donation returns the plasma into your body as you donate, and yields double the platelets and double the units, and all with minimal additional time and no negative side effects aside from the normal donation!

**UPDATE 2**

A third of the parties has been identified. We have removed that picture and replaced them with a picture of the remaining unidentified suspect. PLPD would like to thank the community, and in at least one instance, the parents of the suspect for coming forward and assisting us in identifying the three suspects thus far.

**UPDATE 2**
**UPDATE**
Two of the parties have been identified an have spoken with PLPD about the incident. As such we have removed the photos of those individuals. We are still trying to identify the two older parties.

**UPDATE**

Over the last several weeks, PLPD has responded to the main building at 290 Highway 105 to discover the building had been broken into, and damage done to the building, windows, and the contents within.

In response we have placed several cameras throughout the building and property, and have found two separate instances where two people, appearing to be juvenile males, have entered, and caused damage to the property. We are investigating charges, possibly reaching felony level, for burglary, criminal mischief, and trespassing, as well as possible connections to other cases of theft and trespassing in town.

If you recognize or can identify any of the parties in these photos, please contact the PLPD at 719-481-2934 during normal business hours, EPSO non-emergent dispatch at 719-390-5555 then option 9 outside of business hours, or email the investigating officer at [email protected].
