Alert -- Late night attempted entry
A little after 11 pm on the 30th of July (when the house was dark and it was evident no one was up), I heard a very soft knock at the front door. Being a light sleeper I got up and saw a figure standing at the door through the textured glass. As I watched, they tried turning the front door knob to see if the door was locked. When they found it was locked they moved off the porch. I turned on the light shortly after they moved off the porch and they disappeared quickly. Has this happened to anyone else in Napier South?
