03:13
All those sections have... Go again.
03:21
It's going to be negative for any suspects on time.
03:31
I copy.
03:39
Radio, this is going to be a good beginning. We're going to need the keyholder to respond.
03:48
All right, I copy. I keep trying to get in contact with the keyholder. I'm getting a voicemail, but per the alarm company, ETA for him is going to be 30 minutes in a greateringo.
03:56
33 to 36.
03:58
32 wants us all to go towards.
04:01
You know what we're looking for?
04:07
No, but they use the sawsgle to break in, so if they're not a car, they're going to be on foot with a backpack.
04:17
3-6, if road comes on here, there's a camera just to our south or north.
04:24
Is it possible they got a vehicle description or any suspect description?
04:27
Can you check with them?
04:29
I can't be calling them now.
04:31
And what did you say they used to break...
04:35
What time did you get the call for the alarm?
04:40
Original call came in at 2.42.
04:44
It looks like they use a pry bar or some other blunt tool to bend back this steel metal door,
04:51
and then they use the saws-all or some sort of bladed cutting instruments to cut through the two-by-fours that they had securing this door shut.
05:00
Copy.
05:03
Between me calling out we were at 5-5 and Broadway and the call coming down, what was the total time to last?
05:13
N-36 for right.
05:15
All right, 3-6, the radio is landing.
05:18
These guys probably have a scanner.
05:20
It's not that hard.
05:21
They probably know what we're coming.
05:26
Two this one.
05:28
If I'm with you, we got here way too fast for them to be gone.
05:33
Andrew Cray, I'm arriving.
05:36
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too.
05:39
Yeah, you guys literally got there in under five minutes, so...
05:43
Two-51.
05:47
By you can to the radio, please for the mega service.
05:52
Any chance the caller's husband can give us a description of who they saw in their shop?
05:57
Yeah.
05:58
I called him approximately five times. I'll try one more time.
06:02
I keep getting voicemail.
06:04
Apparently they had it on camera.
06:06
Thank you. Yeah, no problem.
06:20
Go past that,
06:22

06:27
10363.
06:29
What?
06:31
Yeah, everybody was going to tell all those cars over there on Broadway. I'm still getting a voicemail to the keyholder.
06:36
I copy, thank you.
06:37
253.
06:39
Is this an anonymous caller?
06:42
Right, that copy. You said you were on the phone with the keyholder's wife, maybe try her.
06:49
I believe so, because there's no caller info.
06:54
Okay, copy.
06:56
I copy. I'll do another callback. She's not with him, and she doesn't have access to the camera. She had no further info, but I'll do a callback.
07:03
I copy that.
07:04
We're definitely getting an agent to respond to figure out how to re-secure this back door.
07:08
It's completely annihilated.
07:12
All right, copy. I'll advise.
07:14
And radio that Adam, Bresum, can I help you check the suspicious activity in your zones?
07:18

Radio,
08:06
I believe Officer Crocus did a Beanie report to this exact same smoke shop maybe two and a half, three weeks ago.
08:15
As far as victim info, phone number, name, it's going to be the same individual that should be listed as the owner in that report if you're able to look that up.
08:25
I copy.
