Dodgy person

Chris from Fendalton

At about 10 am this morning I Observed a man on a bike riding around Glandovey Road Thornycroft Street and feel that he is checking out properties.
He rode down 38a Glandovey Roads driveway which has a sold sign on it and I think he took a photo of it.
I followed him for a bit towards Fendalton … View more
At about 10 am this morning I Observed a man on a bike riding around Glandovey Road Thornycroft Street and feel that he is checking out properties.
He rode down 38a Glandovey Roads driveway which has a sold sign on it and I think he took a photo of it.
I followed him for a bit towards Fendalton Road and took some photos of him biking. I did also look at his face under his hoodie.
Tried to ring Police but that’s a lost cause these days.
Please lock everything up.
He was dressed in black and the bike was light blue.
Be diligent with locking everything up.

Assisted-living apartments come with support that makes life easier, like housekeeping and a chef-prepared meal every day. It’s great for you, and reassuring for your family, because they know you’re being looked after. Best of all, that extra support creates more time for fun!

Apartments are in the heart of the village, with easy access to everything the village has to offer. Your patio is a great place to while away the evening with a good book or to watch the world go by. It’s also the perfect spot to grow herbs and display colourful pot plants.
