  1. Thieves using keys? Rather suspicious if you ask me. All of those associated with the site should be held and questioned

  2. Was it an inside job? Where did those criminals get the keys from to open the container? This in my opinion should be an easy one for the Police to figured out.How is the shop owner from Parham doing in the Hospital? She was shot by a robber.

  3. Its on China land all the best on getting it all back , sounds like a job for FBI , DEA, Mi 5 , RCMP, CSI LA, NYC police, Navy, Army, Air Force, joined task force.asap !!!

  4. We all know the people who are responsible for the keys are untouchable. Nothing coming out of this, even if they find out who thief the equipment.

    They well know who to investigate but the Police cant step on the wrong foot or they go get dealt with.
