At our home on Sunday morning, an unidentified person was captured by our security camera approaching our open front door, looking inside, and subsequently walking around the side of the house. Upon being questioned, they said they were looking for an individual not known to us and left without further enquiry. They were carrying a black case, had a rug over one shoulder, had a back pack, and wore a cap and sunglasses. See photo.

We have not experienced any harm, but as a precaution, we’ve reported the occurrence to the police.

If you have had a similar encounter or have any information, please do get in touch.

Stay safe. Warm regards,

Paul
