Break-in attempt last night
Hey neighbours,
We are on Ridge road, Howick and we had a break-in attempt last night between 12:30 and 1 am. If it had not been for our super awesome 2 years old Border Collie, the intruder(s) would have been successful in their attempt. Thanks to her super-sensitive sense of hearing, she alerted us and tried to shoo them away.
Unfortunately, by the time, we reached the lawn, they had taken off but the fence gate was open and our dog was aggressively sniffing the area around the fence gate and then followed the scent all the way to an open window of one of the bedrooms.
Stay safe everyone! Just thought of alerting everyone.
