His point is that a police officer has on a camera and on the camera, the perpetrator admits to breaking into the property. The property does not belong to him, just the contents inside the garage but he is responsible for the property. Several months he has been trying to get the Police Report. He said he was told to submit a written letter and he would get a copy of the tape once other people's reports were redacted. ROBERT J. BERGEN, ESQ. Robert J Bergen said the person did not admit to breaking into the property.
