There have recently been a great number of thefts at storage facilities around the Melbourne area. It appears that thieves have been grappling fences to bypass security and, using expensive portable equipment, have been melting the locks off of the storage doors. These thieves are likely of professional tier, and should not be approached as they may be armed and dangerous. If you are involved in storage Melbourne, it may be wise to move your stored valuables elsewhere until the thieves are captured or cease their actions. Friends or family who have goods stored away in storage facilities in Melbourne should be warned, as this has become a serious epidemic in the area.

The storage companies who have suffered at the hands of these thieves have become irate. They are having to pay out insurance money to all customers of theirs who have lost items from the robberies. Many customers and company owners have become extremely distraught because of these thieves, and they are eager for the break-ins to stop and for the thieves to be arrested and tried. Camera footage may have captured a partial face of one of the thieves, and this is the greatest lead police have thus far.
