Dear Resident,

The incident occurred between 00:30 and 01:00 Hours on 23/11/2024. The offender(s) approached the victims front door, and when the victim answered the door, the suspects have walked into the property without permission, taking cash, a watch and mobile phone. The suspects have then damaged the interior of the property, prior to assaulting the male victim inside his own property.
