North West police confirmed Tuesday that the police station in Ventersdorp, South Africa got hit by a bunch of burglars, who made off with 80 packets of cigarettes on Sunday.
While some might have laughed at the story, Colonel Henry Vermeulen of the Ventersdorp police confirmed that it is true. "There was a burglary at the station, at one of the offices at the back," he said. adding that "some items" were stolen and that they are busy with the investigation. He did confirm that 80 packets of cigarettes were taken and that the burglars gained access through the roof.
According to Vermeulen, no arrests have yet been made but police do have three suspects in mind. "We believe today or tomorrow we will have arrests. We know who they are."
However, according to the Sowetan, the cigarettes weren't the only items stolen. There was also, apparently, a laptop, belonging to a municipal worker and an exhibit in a case, stolen too.
