Video images of people from the area showed earlier that the thieves have visited at least three times: on Saturday morning, Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
“I haven’t seen the images myself yet, but that is what I have been told,” says the owner of the storage. “My neighbors live right opposite the shed and were present in the living room during one of the times. But unfortunately they didn’t see anything.”
