1. There’s a stranger in my house…
ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an aggravated burglary in Flynn this morning (October 31).
Around 6am the 37-year-old victim woke to find a man going through the draw of a bedside table next to him in his Bennett Place home. When the victim challenged the intruder the offender walked to the kitchen, found a knife and demanded the victim’s car keys. The victim handed over the keys to his 1990 blue Toyota Corolla Seca and the offender fled the scene in it with a number of items including the victim’s wallet, iPhone and a games console. At the time, the victim was home with his two small children but nobody was injured during the burglary.
The male offender is described as being of Caucasian appearance, in his early 20s, around 5’11” (180cms) tall, with a slight build, had a sparse moustache and goatee and spoke with a strong Australian accent. He was wearing a black hooded jumper and grey pants.
General Duties officers conducted a door knock of the area and AFP Forensic Services attended the scene.
Police are interested in talking to any delivery drivers or early morning walkers who may have been in the area of Bennett Place around the time of the incident, or anyone who may have seen a man matching the description driving a blue Toyota Corolla Seca.
