“We went to where the fence was cut, which was along the property on the Rutland Avenue side,” the police report says. “It was near heavy vegetation and a box truck, which offered very good concealment of the hole. We entered and walked to the building that was still under construction. We could see fresh footprints that had walked through some puddles in the concrete. However, it was impossible to tell if anything had been taken or damaged.”

“Additionally, the overhead trailer door’s lock on the eastern-facing side appeared to have been cut with a torch,” the report says. “The door was halfway open and propped up by a chest.”
