Suspicious behaviour Langton Rise

[ISALB]

At 6pm this eve I saw 2 young blokes wearing gloves climbing the fence into someone's garden opposite the cemetery on Langton rise. Do you think this is worth reporting to someone? Didn't seem worthy of an emergency call but didn't know what to do(I was driving past).

Probably a bit late now

That sounds like two blokes out breaking into someones house - there is no reason for someone to be climbing over a fence wearing gloves, two minutes later they will be in the house..... THAT is always worth a 999 call.

It's good to report it on the forum, but best to tell police first.

Hi ISALB,

It's absolutely worth reporting - even if it is too late - as you may be able to provide police with details the residents of the burgled house cannot provide.

It may be nothing, but two men climbing a fence into someones garden is not normal. Most people would use a key & enter through a door.

This also happens to be around the time 2 houses were broken into on Hindmans Rd.

Tell the police. You can still provide info if there was an actual or attempted break in. FFS

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALWAYS CALL THE POLICE IF YOU SEE ANY SUSPIOUS ACTIVITY. IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.

Did report it and they said I should have called 999 - well at least I know for next time. Thanks for all advice.

Duh...

Why did you need 'advice' on that?

Surely the answer is obvious?

I think that's a bit harsh! But the pink cheeks of wasting police time is better than what happens if they are up to no good.

It reminds me of a time I called the police in the middle of the night when i could see two shadows of men with a crowbar working on my living room window (i was inside), when the police turned up the chaps were infact working on a sewer access point or something like that that just happened to be directly under my window. The police were very good about the whole thing - and there were 3 cars that turned up, I was in such a panic!
