Kathikas Attempted Burglary

On Friday morning around 6 am in Kathikas some residents were awakened by some loud bangs.

On further investigation, two persons were attempting to break into the property through the front door.

When disturbed they ran off.

A very unpleasant experience for the residents concerned.
