When crews arrived, they spoke with the victim who said that “an unknown suspect(s) pulled open the doors to his plastic storage shed” and took over $2,400 worth of items without consent, the report says.
“It is unclear, but he believes they would have to hauled the items in a truck because the boxes of laminate weighed forty pounds each,” the report says. “He found a box of the laminates laying in the alley behind his neighbor’s garage. He found a fishing rod in the alley also.”
