“Warehouse”

Incident report # 1

On 18th, April, 2005 at 0430 hrs, Liberian Police received a telephone call about a burglary
incident. The caller identified himself as Robert, employed as a night security guard of a
Computer warehouse located at Independence Street - 59 Monrovia. He stated that some unknown
people broke into the warehouse, tied one security guard with rope, sealed his mouth with a sticky
tape and stole some items from the warehouse. The Liberian Police were immediately dispatched
to the location of the crime. The police arrived at the location of the crime at 0515 hrs. Upon their
arrival they were met by two security guards. One of them was Robert. The name of the second
security guard was Peter.

Follow Up Report # 2

The Liberian Police patrol began searching the perimeter of the warehouse, which was surrounded
by a 4 meter high fence. On the western side of the perimeter of the area of the warehouse the
Police found a wooden ladder lying on the ground near the fence. The Police further searched the
outer side and found one more wooden ladder and an empty box of a printer.
Robert stated that three night security guards have been working at the Computer warehouse since
September 2004. They used to work in shifts. The first shift was from 2000hrs to 0000hrs, the
second from 0000hrs to 0400hrs and the third from 0400hrs to 0800 hrs. Robert said that he
reported for duty at 0400 hours as he was scheduled for the third shift. He was supposed to change
Peter, who was in the second shift. He was surprised that the door to the warehouse was open and
the light was switched off. When he switched the light on he saw scattered empty boxes on the
floor. Robert was scared because he could not find Peter.
He later found Peter lying in the corner of the warehouse with his arms and legs tied. Peter’s
mouth was sealed with sticky tape, so he could not call for help. Robert stated that all three
security guards did not have any weapon. In case of emergency they could only call the police on a
mobile telephone. Robert also added that each security guard had received a mobile telephone
from the management of the warehouse at the same time as they were hired.

Follow Up Report # 3

The Police continued preliminary investigations. They asked Peter to brief them on what had
happened earlier in the morning. Peter said that he reported for duty at 2345 hrs. The security
guard, who was in the first shift, was glad to leave for home 15 minutes earlier. At approximately
0230hrs the lights went off. Then four male persons with flashlights broke into the warehouse. He
was not able to identify them. They were acting so quickly that he had no time to call the police. It
looked like they knew everything about the warehouse. They took his mobile telephone, tied his
arms and legs with rope and dragged him to the corner of the warehouse where he was unable to
see what was happening. The suspects began removing boxes from the warehouse. When some
boxes fell on the floor, one of the suspects angrily warned the others. Peter believed that this voice
belonged to the first shift security guard. Further investigations revealed that a total of 12 desktop
computers, 25 laptops and 10 printers were stolen. The total value of the stolen property is
estimated at $150 000. Investigation continues.
