Third burglary in three two weeks in Smatch Zelzate: “Three times the same perpetrators, they are clearly on the camera images” | Zelzate

“To our great regret, there was another burglary last night. We are not allowed to open our store until the trace investigation has been completed,” it sounds disappointed at Smatch in Zelzate. Last night, the supermarket on Hoogbouwplein was again visited by burglars. “They removed the door from the frame with a crowbar and are so “It took them some effort,” says Benny van Smatch. “It took them some effort, but that means they can be clearly seen on the camera images.”

A night watchman was also present during the break-in. “He immediately informed the police, but they were a minute and a half too late to catch them in the act. We can already make clear from the images that they are the same perpetrators as the two previous burglaries.” The Smatch was also broken into on June 7 and 16. Then alcohol and tobacco were stolen. “We really hope that the police will be able to put the images to good use, because we are really tired of it. In the first place we have to incur costs, but we also lose valuable hours by always having to close the doors. Hopefully the trace investigation will be completed quickly today, so that we can open again.
