Wingfield Street - Two recent crimes -Attempted Burglary and car theft

[Kittensbar]

Four weeks ago my husband was in the kitchen and heard a noise in the bedroom above and climbing the steps to the landing found a man with one leg through the window (he did have a second leg!). He had climbed over 8 fences to reach our house, trying all other houses en route and he used the outside shed to climb up, removing our window box to get in the window. My husband said "what do you think you are doing" and he immediately jumped down shouting 'wrong house wrong house'. He then darted in to our kitchen and then ran away over the fence, trying the next door patio doors as he went.

My neighbour who has three nest cameras (2 external and 1 internal) looking on to our property complete with audio and records us 24/7 recorded my husband shouting at the man from inside our house. We also had our own footage of him and the police recognised him. He has since been arrested and is on remand as he has a record of breaking and entering.

Just yesterday at 2.00am a white male with bald head about 6ft accessed an expensive 4 x 4 and only ran off when confronted by a neighbour who heard the noise outside his window. I am not sure if it is the same man I recently saw walking down the street looking in to each car as he went.

I have lived here since 1991 and when I first came here both houses next to me were robbed and a man was stabbed and killed by Bellenden Road. Things settled down over the years but we seem to be back to a high level of crime again.
