From: Gill Lanham [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 January 2010 08:56 AM To: John and Gill Lanham Subject: RNW Newsflash 3 of 2010 - Intruder - de Villiers Ave - Frances again VISIT THE RNW WEBSITE AT http://www.contextsolutions.co.za/rnw/ Dear Residents I received the following yesterday. Please call the SAPS Sector Van 079 8941466 and lay a charge if Frances steals anything from you. She has become a real menace in our area and needs to be caught. This incident occured at 5pm (local dog walking time= lots of locals are down on the green) in de Villiers Ave, Campground Rd end. "I think that "Frances" is back in the area. He/She climbed over my neigbbour's gate and then over our common wall into my property. I did not see the partner. Kept expecting someone to jump out of my bushes. This afternoon ( Mon 4 Jan) at 5 pm I was returning from walking my dog. Outside my immediate neighbour's house at the Camp Ground end of de Villiers Ave I found a rucksack and plastic carrier bag. Inside the carrier bag were some very old receipts from the Haven (night shelter) in the name of Frances Damon. I rang the doorbell but no answer. At that moment my neighbour returned and I told him about the personal items left at his gate and wondered if the owner might be inside. I opened my gate and as I walked up my pathway was confronted by "Frances" pretending to fold up my washing. Many words were passed between us and lots of long stories about men chasing " her" before I could get Francis to exit my property. "She" managed to leave with some of the laundry and of course the items belonged to one of my daughter's friends. The incident was most unpleasant, but I was relieved it was myself, and not either of my daughters, who had to confront Frances . She was very aggressive and I feared she was going to assault me. After leaving, I unlocked my door and pressed my panic button and ADT took about 8 minutes to arrive, by now to late to catch Frances. Frances is I think a man, but dressed as a woman. Tip to all Rosebank residents: 1.Carry an alarm linked remote, as precious time was wasted before I activated the panic button 2.Raise all street fences and gate posts sufficiently high to prevent people climbing over. 3. Raise the height of common boundary fences/walls ." regards Gill Lanham .* Please report ALL security incidents within the Rosebank Neighbourhood Watch area to Gill Lanham at [email protected] or tel. 021 689 9258 even if the incident has already been reported to the police and/or ADT.
