POWELL BUTTE, Ore. -- Crook County sheriff's deputies and Prineville Police officers are investigating an attempted burglary of alcoholic beverages early Wednesday from Brasada Ranch, while warning the public not to believe all they read on social media about this or other cases.

Deputies and officers responded around 12:45 a.m. to a report of a burglary in progress at the resort's Ranch House.

They said two people were found trying to take alcoholic beverages from the Ranch House and ran away when confronted by an employee.

A K- team from the Bend Police Department was called in to help, but the dog's track of the suspects was unsuccessful, deputies said, adding that "there is no threat to the public."

"There have been many posts on social media from people who heard 'scanner chatter that this was an armed robbery," deputies said in a Facebook post, adding: "This was NOT an armed robbery."

"We encourage everyone to be cautious about what they read and share on social media and to wait for factual information to emerge from trusted sources," the agency said. "Knee-jerk reactions can cause unnecessary panic."

Deputies said the investigation is ongoing, and no further information will be released at this time.

A resort representative told the Bugle they are not commenting on the incident.
