Police in Cardiff investigating a burglary at an Older Persons Accommodation in Tremorfa are appealing for information.
Burglars climbed through an open window of a ground-floor flat in Minton Court while the occupier was asleep and stole two laptops, a wallet and camcorder.
One of the laptops is distinctive in that it has a Spanish keyboard.
Detective Constable Neil Slatter, who is investigating this burglary, said: “This is an unusual incident and staff can’t recall any previous incidents like this at the complex.
“Two people were involved in the break-in and they have gone to some effort to get into the complex either by climbing a high brick wall or through shrubs.
“They have then climbed through a small open window while the 80-year-old occupier is asleep in bed.”
An appeal is made to anyone who has information about this burglary which happened on March 1 or the whereabouts of the stolen items including the Acer Extensa laptop with Spanish keyboard and Hewlett Packward 15″ screen laptop.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Cardiff CID on 02920 527 420 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting occurrence number 1400067769.
