Was the Sony Warehouse fire organized?

September 2, 2011 News: Was The Sony Warehouse Fire Organized? [DMN] is reporting a story which states the recent Sony Warehouse fire in England might have been planned. The fire damages effected nearly 150 labels. The disastrous warehouse fire affecting Sony Distribution, PIAS, and roughly 150 independent labels may have been an organized hit, according to sources now emerging. 
The London-based Telegraph is pointing to evidence of a well-planned, coordinated robbery that used chaotic rioting and looting as cover. “Evidence has now emerged suggesting that the well-guarded Sony DADC distribution center was deliberately targeted by a professional gang, in a carefully planned raid, using the riots as a distraction,” probing Telegraph journalist John Bingham shared. In other words, substantial amounts of inventory may not have been melted and burned, as previously thought. Instead, product may have been carted off in vans by professionals seizing the anarchic moment.

 In fact, Bingham offers drastically lowered estimates of just how many CDs, DVDs, and other pieces of inventory were actually destroyed. “Sources in the security industry disclosed that intruders first arrived wielding specialist cutting equipment and spent up to two hours dismantling a high security fence before breaking in,” Bingham continued. “By the time a crowd of youths were seen inside the warehouse helping themselves to stock including games consoles, the original robbers had already left the scene.”

 The opportunism was well-timed, simply because Metropolitan Police were stretched thin dealing with a city-wide crisis. Several have been arrested in connection with warehouse looting and property destruction, though the apprehended were largely in their late-teens and early 20s – a group potentially admitted into the facility after the more complicated break-in was achieved. Metropolitan Police are not commenting on the ongoing investigation, and Sony is also remaining tight-lipped. But this fairly plausible theory introduces a range of difficult questions, including a flood of unauthorized CDs, DVDs, and other media into the black market. And, a somewhat different insurance conversation.
