Those who committed the burglary need to be found and their legs broken and knuckles smashed.

What the hell are army officers doing in a drug addiction rehabilitation center?

Call the Army and ask them. There are drug addicts at the center. Some of them have contacts in there who try to supply to the addicts in rehab. So the Army keeps an eye on them.

The police need to find thieves for they might be infected with COVID after entering the house. Stupid idiots.

Looks like the buglers have been trying to pack the flat screen tv into its original box to receive a higher resale price.
