Thieves Hit Same Westlake Business Twice in One Day
OCS Processing System had tools stolen from its trailers in the afternoon and again in the evening.
WESTLAKE, OH - They say criminals often return to the scene of their crimes. They don't usually mean that they'll hit the same place, twice, in one day. Yet, that's exactly what happened in Westlake.
A pair of thieves were caught on CCTV stealing tools from three trailer owned by OCS Processing System, 24142 Detroit Rd. They hit the business twice on Jan. 2. Their first theft came at 12:55 p.m. and their second came at 7:55 p.m.
The suspects used a ladder to scale the perimeter fence from a neighboring lot. They then then forced open trailer doors and stole tools.
