Waterfront Vault Robbery Confounds Local Authorities; Founder Found Under Pier
HARBOR DISTRICT — As reported early this morning, company founder Arthur Vance was pulled lifeless from the shallow channels beneath the East Pier structural framework. Investigators on the scene confirmed that the main physical wall safe back at the headquarters facility was completely stripped of cash reserves on the exact night of the fatal assault.
Marks along the vault entry mechanism indicate no forced tools were applied, strongly implying an insider layout job. The regional bureau has taken control of the unredacted evidence logs.
