Woman discovers burglar in her Cumbernauld home
A woman discovered a burglar, dressed in all black, in her bedroom at 4.30am while she was sleeping. After the burglar fled from the property the victim noticed several of her belongings had been stolen, including her mobile phone from her bedside table.
Upon closer inspection, it was brought to light that the burglar had been rummaging through cupboards at the property, and had gotten away with contents which will require a four figure sum to compensate. The victim’s patio door was discovered wide open following the burglary, indicating this was the main access into and out of the home.
