Westbound for 620, can you contact the alarm company for (number withheld) N Oak Park Ave? There are no key boxes, no keys.

00:07

The only way we can get in and silence the alarm is to force entry, which I'm about to do, but I'd rather not.

00:14

Yeah, I'll give them a call and see if there's anything they can do.

00:24

And what's got for 20 ? It looks like they may have had another burglary attempt on the North Boulevard side.

00:29

If you can send an officer over here to take a look at it, it looks like somebody tried to kick in the glass door.

00:40

All right, 620.

00:42

It looks like the alarm company was able to reach someone when they tried it on their own.

00:48

I had them make sure that they were going to call that person back and have them call me directly, and I can figure out what we have to do.

00:57

Yeah, if we can't get access into this building to at least silence the alarm, we're going to have to leave it in full fire with active strobe and siren.

01:06

And it's going to stay that way until Tuesday morning.
