Another armed robbery in Linbro Park

Unedited, here are the reports from Owen and Melody Williams and Nic Nel:

Started out at 21:10 contacted ADT (Leemack?) who was at 29 first Road drove there 2 ADT cars in attendance told by ADT afterwards that it was an armed robbery with reportedly 6 assailants. Drove immediately to Second & Third roads looking for parked cars and the like adjacent to the unkempt, unkept open properties. No vehicles in sight and no pedestrians. Still a lot of plots with no clearly identifiable numbers at night. I wondered where all the rubbish in Linbro went during the garbage strike, look no more a lot of it is on Douglas Road. With so many overgrown plots you could hide an army let alone a few criminals.  Saw ADT at 9:50 driving around plus Chubb, no one had seen anything. A couple of obvious residents driving home and 1 or 2 pedestrians.

Knocked off at 22:17.

The robbers were waiting for the tenants when they returned home at about 20h20.  Their Panic Button was not working but they had not reported the fault yet to ADT.  The gardener alerted Stephen Papale who reported to Sandringham and then contacted me.  I sent ADT to the scene from Hilton Road where he was patrolling.  I then phoned the Sandringham Sector Patrol Car and it had just arrived at the crime site.

Between 5 and 6 BM robbers were involved, 3 of whom were armed.  Computers and laptops were taken but nobody was physically injured.
