Building site targeted by thieves
In the night, the Dragonbane building site in Älvdalen was robbed by thieves. One generator, two compressors, two nail guns and some other electrical tools have been taken along with the most expensive cables.
Arriving at the building site on Sunday morning, the team could not immediately see that somebody had visited the area during the night. The chain sealing off the area from car traffic looked untouched. The chain had not been broken, but the post to which the chain is attached had been cut.
- I’d say it was a professional job, since the thieves only took the valuable tools and left the cheaper ones, says Sören from Denmark on location in Älvdalen.
The building site has been empty of equipment for two weeks. The builders only returned on Saturday for the last week of building. The robbery took place during the first night after the return of the team.
The team of approximately ten people continued building on Sunday by more traditional means, since the thieves had left the non-electrical tools at the site. Building will continue until Saturday, September 24th. Local police is investigating the matter.
The equipment will take some time to replace, which means that the results of the last week of building this year probably will be less than anticipated. The robbery is naturally a regrettable blow to the project both financially and timewise.
