A family in Touliki whose verandah was burgled while they were sleeping in the living room said the crime shows how “brazen and opportunistic” some thieves are.
The burglar, or burglars, took a washing machine with laundry inside and a bicycle.
The woman, who streamed the incident and shared it on Facebook, said that they had to follow the apparent trail of the burglars through nearby bushes.
They managed to retrieve some of the discarded laundry the thieves left behind.
There were no signs of the washing machine or the bicycle.
She said the laundry was their children’s clothing.
The video showed the woman and a man walking on what had been described as the burglars’ apparent trail.
It led them to a nearby public road, where they believed a waiting vehicle was parked.
“People are that brazen and opportunistic, that they steal the stuff while we were sleeping close by,” she said.
