Armed Response Officer Bravo 155 was immediately dispatched and, upon arrival ,conducted an external inspection which confirmed a break-in in progress.

Armed response officers positioned themselves tactically, with Bravo 155 maintaining cover while backup officers, together with site management, entered the building. The suspect was located hiding beneath equipment inside the workshop and was successfully apprehended.

Armed Response Officer Bravo57 responded and located the male outside the property in possession of stolen items. The Rapid Intervention Unit was on scene and assisted in securing thearrest.
