A burglar was foiled in his attempt to steal a plasma TV after being spotted by a vigilant resident.
On Wednesday, November 29, at approximately 5.10pm, a resident of Willis Crescent was returning home.
He drove into his driveway when he noticed a man crouching down beside a large plasma TV set.
Realising he had been spotted the man stood up and jumped over a gate into the rear gardens and ran off. The resident immediately phoned the police. When they arrived they discovered the TV leaning against a fence with a crowbar and a pair of rubber gloves.
The man is described as black, 22 years old, wearing grey sports clothes with a hoodie over his face. He may have been with a white male 25-year-old of slim build, wearing a blue jacket and sports hoodie.
PC Moody would like to speak to anyone who witnessed this on 0208 247 7032 or asks them to call Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
