Robbery on Green Street_
Last night, there were three robberies on Green Street. The police believe that the same criminals robbed three different houses. They stole money, jeweilery, computers, camera equipment, a bicycle and credit cards.
Sam Edmunds (48) was one of the victims. He said, ‘We didn’t hearthe robbers, because they came when we were sleeping. In the morning, we got up and saw that the Computer was missing. We phoned the police at nine o’clock.’ Another victim was Rosie Brown (36). She said, ‘They stole a lot of money, but the worst thing for me was that the robbers stole my grandmother's jeweilery.’
There was a security camera in Green Street, and the police gave this description of the criminals. ‘There were probably three robbers, but we only have pictures of two of them. The first was about 28 years old. He was tali and slim, with long, brown hair. He was wearing jeans and a dark sweatshirt. The second man was older. He was shorter, and morę well-built. He was wearing dark trousers and a light jacket.’
Did you see the third robber? Ifyou were a witness, you should phone the police.
