In the early morning hours of December 20 between 1:30am and 2:25am a person with intimate knowledge of the front desk schedule, our main entry door, garage door, and the location of the bike cage, entered the building via the front door. This occurred while the night staff person was away from the front desk on scheduled rounds. During this opportune time the stout lock on the bike cage was sawed off and two bikes were stolen, an electric bike and a hight-end carbon bike.
There is a clear video record of the is individual entering and exiting the Ellington and this has been turned over o the police. A subsequent detailed police report was filed and is available upon request at the front desk.
The Ellington Board takes this recent breach seriously and is aggressively considering a variety of preventative actions and procedures. The board will keep residents updated as additional security measures are put into effect.
With shared concern,
Sterling Morris for the Ellington Board of Directors
