Attempted Theft from Property

Chelsea : 14h00 - Intruder appears to have gained access to the 4-unit block through the main security entrance by prising the magnetic front doors and security gate open without breaking them. He surprised the resident by knocking on her front door which caused her concern as she is usually the only person in the block that is at home during the day. After asking the resident if her brother was there and finding out he wasn’t, he left. The resident heard the security gate and the magnetically secured front glass doors close and lock behind him. The resident noticed an older model white citi golf drive off, which appeared to have been waiting with another occupant in it.

The resident’s neighbour recently saw the men working above the Ecoco store in Upper Mill getting into a white golf. She believes it may be the same men, as it would explain how they knew about her brother - all the properties in the block back onto each other and they may have heard her talking to her brother on the deck.

The block’s security gate was then updated with a new piece of iron soldered to the back of it to prevent it from being manipulated open, and the manual release button was moved as an extra security measure. However, the resident noticed a few days later that there were fresh marks on both the magnetic glass doors and the security gate, so it appears that the intruder tried to get in again. There are marks from the new metal bar being slammed into the wall behind it as they tried to manipulate the gate open as before.

Chelmsford : 16h10 - Upon receiving a call from one of the residents at Hanse Cape Village that there were suspicious persons in the complex, another resident went to investigate and caught two black males at the window of one of the flats. One intruder was almost inside with just his feet sticking out and the other was standing outside the window. On seeing the resident, the intruder in the flat jumped back out the window and both tried to run away but were unable to get through the security door as the resident was obstructing the way out. Both jumped out of the passage window and ran away. Window had been forced open using a screw driver. One of the males has been positively identified as the same person involved in the “Intruder inside home” (case # 192/6/2011) incident on the 3rd of June, as it was the same resident who confronted the intruders in both instances. The intruder who was involved in both cases is 1.78m tall, round faced, very short hair, lightish complexion, average build, around 18/20yrs old, wearing a cream colored top with light blue jeans.
