The father of cyclist Remco Evenepoel has fallen victim to a major yard theft in Lennik. Patrick Evenepoel is a plasterer, all his plaster material has been stolen from a large yard. He estimates his loss at 15,000 to 25,000 euros.
The perpetrators went even further and even took off kitchen appliances and sanitary facilities from the finished apartments. Patrick Evenepoel cannot believe it: “When we arrived a little after six o’clock this morning we saw that the doors were open. Bizarre, because I had locked myself. It was dark and my francs did not fall immediately. But then I saw that everything was gone, absolutely everything and not just my material. ”
“I can hardly believe it, what kind of a world we actually live in, where people steal work materials? Result, a lot of damage and costs and especially we cannot continue working, I cannot put my staff to work and we are lagging behind. By the way, it is already the third yard theft I have witnessed. Some of the loot was still out on the street. They even have the lights and the yard radio with them. But we have to keep going and don’t give up, even in this corona time. “
