A transport company in Melbourne was broken into several times in the days after its boss fell.
Troy Kellett, 43, was tragically killed when he fell from a stack of shipping containers in Adelaide Harbor shortly after midnight on July 9.
Police are treating the Melbourne father’s death as an accident, despite several unanswered questions surrounding the incident, including why Mr Kellett was on top of the containers, why he was traveling on the motorway and why he visited the site so late.
Law enforcement officials previously revealed that heavily armed police watched as Mr Kellett was killed during a covert surveillance operation after receiving a tip that drugs were being stored at the cargo depot.
One source claimed that the director of Kellett Australia may have been looking for drugs at the time.
A former employee broke their silence by claiming that trespassers had broken into the grounds of Mr Kellett’s transport company in Melbourne’s southwest three times in the days following his death.
They claim that the burglaries at the Altona North property were not reported to the police.

Mr. Kellett had sold the company just days before his death.
The first burglary occurred in the hours after his death, when intruders gained access to seven shipping containers stored at his company’s headquarters.
Nothing was stolen, despite the fact that all containers had been broken into and were full of goods, according to the former employee.
“Why go to all that trouble and not steal anything inside? It seems they were looking for something specific and were able to identify it immediately,” they told the newspaper Herald Sun.
“We walked around like zombies and didn’t put two and two together. And since nothing was stolen, we assumed it was children, so why trouble the police with it?’
The former employee claimed the thieves broke into the office the next day and stole several computers and hard drives.
Keys were also allegedly taken from the trucks parked on the property, and later found in a plastic bag under a table in an upstairs office.
“It was pretty amateurish: they took not only the computers, but also the monitors and mice and stuff. And not all hard drives were included. So if they didn’t get what they wanted, all they got was a hernia,” the source claimed.

They also alleged that a bus that Mr Kellett had converted into a mobile home at the site was broken into, while the marijuana in a secret compartment was stolen.
“It was destroyed, everything was opened up and everything turned upside down. It was a real mess,” said the ex-employee.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Kellett Australia and Victoria Police for comment.
Mr. Kellett received $7.94 million in the days before he died for the sale of land from his Altona North container transport company.
He was supposed to receive another $8 million the same day for the sale of trucks and other assets, but he called in sick and told the buyer he couldn’t sign the paperwork because he was “on the road.”
Two men aged 33 and 47 who were said to have been with Mr Kellett when he fell to his death were charged with trespass and firearms offences. They are currently in court.

Mr Kellett’s heartbroken daughter shared an emotional tribute following his death.
RIP daddy. My heart is broken,” Demi Deksnis posted on social media at the time.
“I keep thinking you (sic) could pull into the driveway at any minute.
“Thank you for always being the best man in our lives. I couldn’t have wished for a better father’
Mr Kellett planned to travel around Australia in the bus he had converted into a mobile home.
“Troy told us he was 43 and he had had enough,” his brother Corey recently told the Herald Sun.
“He said, ‘I’m ready, I’m going to phase out everything, I’m going to enjoy my retirement’.
‘He became a multimillionaire on Friday and dead on Sunday’
