Victoria fire inspectors have discovered that fewer multi-unit buildings were compromised than originally thought after only six access keys were determined to be missing from the nearly 500 buildings lock boxes. The fire department said that 35 keys were missing from the boxes on the outside of commercial or residential buildings but after checking with property managers, fire inspectors determined some of the lock vaults were empty because no keys had been stored in them. All of Victoria Fire Department’s master keys are accounted for leaving the fire department and police unsure how someone could have breached the lock boxes.
