FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 1

Reference is made to a case reported on 29 October 2011.  The witness was waiting on Berisha Street near the burglarized house  as the Police patrol arrived at the scene.  The offices of the International Organization of Migration (IOM) are located in that house. The witness said that he was visiting his friend’s house nearby. At approximately 6.30 hours he heard strange hammering sounds and looked out of the window. Then he went out into his friend’s yard and saw one of the windows of the IOM office broken and the door open. He saw the silhouettes of people inside and he went back into the house to call the police. He also stated that he saw a light colored car parked near the house. He was not sure about the registration number of the car and was not certain about its color as it was quite dark.

The driver of the Police patrol car said that he had passed a light colored “Opel Omega” car with no registration plates with several people in it.  It was heading in the opposite direction towards the airport.  The leader of the patrol team got in touch with “Police Control” and asked the airport police to look for a light colored “Opel Omega” car and detain it for further investigation if they locate it.

 The witness said that he knows the director of the IOM office, a woman named Marla Orman. He had her business card. The leader of the patrol team contacted Ms. Marla Orman and asked her to come to her office to identify what was missing in the building.

FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 2

Reference is made to a case reported on 29 October 2011.  The Airport police reported that at 07.20 hours a silver colored “Opel Omega” with no registration plates was stopped and two laptops, two digital cameras, one DVD player, one printer and two scanners in the trunk of the car were found. The driver, a young male, was not able to prove that these items belonged to him.  During an interview he said that there had been two other passengers in the car, who had just got out.  The driver confirmed that these two men were with him in the IOM building and they had stolen the electronic equipment together. The driver was detained by police.

FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 3

Reference is made to a case reported on 29 October 2011.  Ms. Orman, the director of the IOM, arrived at the scene at 07.30 hours.  She checked the offices and made a list of missing equipment.

The items found in the trunk of the vehicle matched the items listed on the IOM inventory register and therefore the Police station north retained them until the completion of the investigation. Ms. Orman also stated that she found that two more scanners and a desktop computer had been disconnected and moved from their original places  They had been put on a table by the door.  Forensics processed for fingerprints and IOM retained these items.

FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 4

NARRATIVE

At 06.45 hours on Tuesday, 29 October 2011 “Police Control” spoke with a witness to the burglary at the IOM office at Berisha Street #67, located in the North of town.  Police Patrol team from North Police Station consisting of the driver, team leader and two officers was dispatched to the scene. When the patrol team arrived at the scene at 07.05 hours, the witness was standing in front of the building waiting for police to arrive.  He introduced himself as Alexander Brown, date of birth 11 June 1970, residing at High Street # 21. He advised the patrol team that he had called to report the burglary. He stated he had been next door to the IOM offices at a friend’s apartment,  He said he had been taking care of her  house while she was on vacation, and he had been watering her plants daily.   Mr. Brown stated that he heard strange noises, and he looked out of the window to see what they were.  He saw lights on in the offices and since the IOM offices have never been opened before 09.00 hours, no one should have been in the building at that time. He could see that one of the windows on the IOM building was broken and the door was open.  He could see the silhouettes of three people inside holding electronic equipment in their hands.  There was a light colored Opel Omega with an open trunk and parked near the building. The witness did not see the faces of the suspects but said they were dressed in blue jeans and white shirts.

Later on at the same day, the Airport Police arrested the driver of Opel Omega, who provided the names and the address of his two friends who were involved in the crime.  At 9.05 hours the police team was dispatched to the house # 75 located at the Airport street, and arrested two suspects.

The same day the fingerprints were taken by the forensic experts from all suspects. The items found in the Opel Omega, were also examined. It was revealed that the fingerprints taken from the suspects match the ones taken from the scene in IOM office. Mr. Brown was called to identify suspects. However, he was not able to recognize any of them as it was dark at the time of the incident.

All electronic equipment found in the car was retained in the Police Station North until the completion of investigation. The Prosecuting Office ordered all three suspects to be retained at the detention center.

  

DIALOGUE

Station Commander:   Good morning, Madam! I have heard early in the morning your radio exchange with                                 regard to the burglary of IOM facilities. Who was arrested with regard to that case?

Team Leader:              A total of three suspects, Sir. First of all, it was the driver of Opel Omega who was detained by Airport police. Secondly, it was his two friends who participated in the burglary with him.

Station Commander:   When was that?

Team Leader:              Two suspects were arrested at 9.05 hours at their residence located at Airport street # 75.

Station Commander:   Do we have any eye-witnesses of the burglary?

Team Leader:              Yes, Alexander Brown witnessed the crime. He was watering plants in the neighbouring house at the time of the incident.

Station Commander:   The name sounds very familiar to me. Is he about 40 years old living at the High street near the church?     

Team Leader:              Yes, he is living at High street # 21. His date of birth is 11 June 1970.

Station Commander:   Was he able to recognize the suspects?

Team Leader:              No, as it was rather dark at the time of the incident. He stated from the very beginning that they were wearing blue jeans and light shirts, but that’s it.

Station Commander:   OK, clear enough. How do you know that the detained individuals may be linked to the burglary?

Team Leader:              Our Forensics Unit examined the items found in the Opel Omega.  Fingerprints from all three suspects were found on the electronic items found in the vehicle.  Additionally, fingerprints from all three suspects were matched to fingerprints found on the items placed on the table by the door at the IOM office.

Station Commander:   I assume all the stolen items are now at our station. We need to store them here until the completion of investigation.

Team Leader:              Yes, they were put in the evidence room. And the suspects will be kept in the detention centre as per the Prosecuting Office order.

Station Commander:   Thank you for your good work, Madam!

Team Leader:              My pleasure, Sir.
