A break-in at a storage facility at the old Diamond Head Clinic in the 1300 block of Pemberton Avenue was reported Thursday, Jan.15. It is unclear exactly when the break-in occurred, but it was sometime over the past several months, police said. There was no sign of forced entry.
Patient records were found scattered outside of the location and apparently have now been secured by the building’s owner, according to police. The clinic had been vacant for over a year, and squatters had possibly been using the building for shelter, police said.
