02h30 From a resident…………. I live at ## Luisa Way. Early this morning – 03h30 an intruder on the premises tried to force a guest bedroom door. The persons sleeping there woke up and the lady switched on the lights and he went off. A short while later (apparently about maybe 20 mins later as I understand it), the intruder returned to the door and tried again. He was seen by both persons. The gentleman shouted at him to get away and he ran off towards my back fence (borders with properties in Nooitgedacht Drive).ADT came within 5 mins and searched the property but he was gone. He may also have exited or maybe entered via number ## Luisa (next door) as the Voice alert sensors indicated activity in the back garden.
