Break-In News...Update

Apologies to everyone for the lack of information hitting the sites in the past coople of days. The break-in discovered on Thursday appeared, despite the bizarre nature of entry, to be a 'random' opportunist burglary.

The crashing of our computer systems may be a coincidence. The main system has been completely wiped out, and the other two are seriously disturbed.

The Police, who expressed amazement and the nature of the theft and entry, are now keeping an open mind as to the intent. We are waiting for a forensic computer analyst, appointed by the insurance company, to diagnose how the computers have been attacked and if anyone accessed the systems and interfered with them during the break-in.

However, when moving work stations to check on computer connections, an item of bloodstained clothing was found. It appears to have been taken from a sports bag in the office and then discarded. The method of entry through a small widow with jagged glass over a 60ft drop appears to have caused an injury. Hopefully this will enable a DNA match should the culprit have a criminal record. The Police did remark that it was very likely that if it was an ordinary burglary then the perpetrator would have 'previous.' First -time and opportunist burglars do not perform such dramatic and dangerous methods of entry.

Busy working from the laptop at the minute and hopefully normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
