Dear Resident

You are receiving this because you live in the vicinity of a burglary that occurred on Braybrook Court, this occurred on Wednesday 17th June. At approximately 09:00hrs, the victim heard a knock at the door while they were in the bathroom. A second, louder knock followed, prompting the victim to look through the door’s peephole. They observed a male described as having grey bushy hair, a beard and moustache, and wearing a blue coat.

The male continued knocking for approximately 2–3 minutes before leaving.

At 21:56hrs, the same male returned to the address and began knocking on the door again before rattling the door handle. He then attempted to insert a key into the lock, which caused the victim’s key to be knocked out of the door from the inside.

The male subsequently attempted to chisel the door handle, causing damage to the door, before leaving the address.
