• Port Royal police investigate Elf on the Shelf crime spree (wtoc.com) — Port Royal police are having some holiday fun with a tongue‑in‑cheek “investigation” into an Elf on the Shelf that mysteriously wrapped a deputy chief’s entire office in gift paper. Officers say “Holly the Elf” has even held mock meetings in the conference room and remains “armed” with wrapping paper, as the department invites residents to follow the playful case on social media.
