HARBOR SPRINGS -- Here's an odd story that has an Emmet County police chief scratching his head over.
Two Harbor Springs residents entered a foreclosed home in Harbor Springs more than six times and planted dead animals and insects throughout it.
52 year-old Marilyn Laffoon and 57 year-old Dean Carpenter are accused of third-degree home invasion and conspiracy to commit third-degree home invasion, both felonies, and malicious destruction of a building.
Police say between June and August, the two entered the home on Sayan Street on the west side of Harbor Springs and placed dead squirrels, raccoons, and crickets throughout the house.
"I don't know, I mean I could offer you an opinion, but it'd only be an opinion right now, I honestly don't know what their motive would be," said Harbor Springs Police Chief Dan Branson.
The two were identified after the real estate company told police what was happening the third time they found animals in the home.
Police installed cameras and saw Laffoon releasing crickets on the floor.
The home is listed for $375,000 and according to a court affidavit, the two "attributed their conduct to boredom."
The two are scheduled to be arraigned on September 1st.
