FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 1

Reference is made to a case reported on 29 October 2011.  The witness was waiting on Berisha Street near the burglarized house  as the Police patrol arrived at the scene.  The offices of the International Organization of Migration (IOM) are located in that house. The witness said that he was visiting his friend’s house nearby. At approximately 6.30 hours he heard strange hammering sounds and looked out of the window. Then he went out into his friend’s yard and saw one of the windows of the IOM office broken and the door open. He saw the silhouettes of people inside and he went back into the house to call the police. He also stated that he saw a light colored car parked near the house. He was not sure about the registration number of the car and was not certain about its color as it was quite dark.

The driver of the Police patrol car said that he had passed a light colored “Opel Omega” car with no registration plates with several people in it.  It was heading in the opposite direction towards the airport.  The leader of the patrol team got in touch with “Police Control” and asked the airport police to look for a light colored “Opel Omega” car and detain it for further investigation if they locate it.

 The witness said that he knows the director of the IOM office, a woman named Marla Orman. He had her business card. The leader of the patrol team contacted Ms. Marla Orman and asked her to come to her office to identify what was missing in the building.
