The alarm was switched off with the night technician's code. He swears he was at the cinema.

The Case Brief

A training case. Overnight, someone opened the safe at Silver Lab, a small photo lab in Kentron, and took a rare 1950s camera. Nothing was forced. Read the records, compare a fingerprint, check a phone and a website, question the people involved — and name the thief.

What You'll Investigate

You will open these materials during the investigation. Some are available from the start; others appear as you follow the relevant leads.
