Burglaries in Port Mandurah
There have been some serious burglaries in Port Mandurah recently. Several properties have been targeted, including residences in Cambria Island, Eunamara Retreat and Fistina Ramble:
"A resident of Fistina Ramble went to bed with the glass door on the canal end of his house open because it was a hot night. The screen door was however locked. At approximately 2am a burglar removed the globes from the sensor operated lights outside the garage. He/she moved down the side to the canal end of the house, cut through the flywire of the screen door and entered the house. The burglar stole 3 laptop computers, a notebook computer, a wallet containing 3 credit cards and about $200 in cash, an $800 smart phone and the keys to a Mercedes car and the garage before departing through the front door.
The resident heard the front door close and went to investigate. He immediately noted the missing items, but did not see the burglars. To their credit the police arrived in 10 minutes and took details. The resident was able to cancel the credit cards fairly quickly. He was subsequently able to alter the locking devices for the car and garage thus making the keys that were stolen inoperative.
In the light of day it was found that at a neighbour's house 2 doors away the security lights and sensor had been turned towards the sky, presumably so that the outside lights would not come on as the intruder approached the front door. The dog in that house awoke at 2am ran to the front door and barked, presumably when the door was rattled. It is assumed that the burglar decided to try elsewhere when this happened."
