Almost PLN 1.5 million should have disappeared with the safe of one of the companies in Velun. The theft happened on a weekend. Thieves had to throw the safe out of the window and it would remain hidden under the building for 24 hours.
The theft happened last weekend. First, on the night of Friday to Saturday, approximately at 4:20, thieves entered one of the companies in Velun. The footage shows them approaching buildings and – after the alarm went off – entering one of them.
They threw the safe out of the window and left it there
There are no records from inside the building. But it is known that they enter the office on the first floor, where they find the safe and throw it out the window.
Later, the camera records them leaving the building, walking around it and trying to remove the safe. They fight with him for a while and then, probably, fearing someone, they leave him. They return a day later and take the safe. Inside – according to the man injured in the robbery, there is about PLN 1.5 million. – They partially broke the two-layer fence and entered the field from the back. They took this safe and dragged it away. He was very heavy, weighing more than 100 kilograms. You can see on the camera that they stop every moment and then disappear from the frame. Then, they passed through the fields and reached a road that leads to a sewage treatment plant, says Mr. Damian, the owner of the robbed company. As he adds, on the second day, the thieves appeared with a changed team. – On the first day, there were two people. There were two people in the second, but one was different. “You see that the first time there is a person who is a little lame, but the second time he changes, he is strong,” he says.
Thieves lose control of security
The case is being investigated by the Vielun police under the supervision of the Vielun District Prosecutor's Office. – Our employees are investigating the cases of theft that happened last weekend in the premises of one of the companies in Velun. According to the findings of the police, so far unknown persons have broken the security of the company's building, entered it and stole the safe containing cash. Losses are currently being calculated – said graduate student Katarzyna Grela, press officer of Vielun district police office.
– May I ask – where was the guard?
Mr. Damian does not hide his bitterness. In his opinion, the security company has failed. -At 3:20 someone enters the building, activates the lower alarm, activates the upper alarm, the security guard gets information about this, but does not interfere, because he did not want to wake me up at night. How does this translate? If he doesn't want to wake me up, he will send a guard to come and check if something is going on, he says.
He adds that the security company has round-the-clock surveillance, but does not intervene from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, if the alarm is triggered. It only does this between 10:00pm and 6:00am and on Saturdays and Sundays – when anyone wants to get in, they have to call a security guard and provide their password.
– The guard checks whether this person is assigned to this password or not and then enters the building, – he explains.
Secure monitoring is located next to the building
The second problem – the safe is lying behind the building 24 hours a day and no one from security noticed it – On Saturdays and Sundays it is guarded three times a day and comes at night to patrol the area. They enter, they have their remote control, they open the gate, enter, guard, leave. They have to go to the door, pull it to check if the door is locked, go around the building, drive around the square. I wonder where the patrol was? – Mr. Damian is nervous.
He discovered the theft only on Monday morning. First, he noticed the signal was not activated at the entrance. – I will enter through the secretariat, everything will be destroyed, – he says.
– What I can't get out of my head is that I always watch the cameras on Saturdays. And I saw these cameras! I see that there are workers on the field, we also have a cargo workshop – I see that they are there. I looked at the station – they are there. If I looked at the back camera on my phone, I could see something lying on the back, but I didn't look at it. Later we watch the cameras with the police and on Saturday the weather is good, the sun is shining, the safe is lying in the corner of the building… – he informs.
