On Monday, Aug. 17, 2020, at about 7:08am, the CNMI Department of Public Safety received a 911 call reporting a burglary and theft incident at a government office in As Perdido. Police were dispatched to the scene.
At the scene, officers met with the caller who is an employee under the office. The employee led police to the storage room where police noticed signs of forced entry. According to the employee, they were the last one to secure the area before leaving work this past Friday. When they returned to work that morning they immediately noticed that five bush-cutters, a battery pack, a blower, and a container of gas were missing. They immediately called 911 for police assistance.
At this time an inventory of items within the warehouse is being conducted.
