I realize in light of the situation it is hardly important but sometimes police releases are strange in how formal they are
"and approached the room which they were unable to enter because of a locking mechanism"
Ummm, so they couldn't enter the room because the door was locked?
What's wrong with just saying that.
When I worked in radio news the worst thing was junior anchors would go to air and read it the way the releases were written. Which sounds absurd.
