Background

Multiple Residents of New Lambton have reported of two men attempting to allegedly break into homes across several streets in the area. Witnesses on Monash Road, Thalaba Road, and Duke Street reported suspicious activity throughout the evening and early morning hours of Tuesday, 1st October 2024.

The first incident occurred at approximately 6:45pm on Monash Road, where two men were spotted trying to open the door of a home. The homeowner, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that their security alarm was triggered, causing the men to flee the scene. According to the witness, the intruders were using a red torch and were seen checking car door handles before running off.

Around the same time, another resident on Thalaba Road reported intruders attempting to enter their property. Maria, who lives in the area, notified the police after spotting the two men. “Had intruders on the property, police notified,” Maria shared in a community post. While no further details were provided, the local police were informed of the incident and promised to increase patrols.

In a later event, Debbie of Duke Street reported another encounter with the men at 2:10am the same night. “This happened at Duke Street, I was awake! Police were notified, but they weren’t able to respond in time,” Debbie said, expressing frustration that patrols were not immediately available. She also noted that Rex Avenue had been broken into earlier in the evening, further fuelling concerns about the men’s movements.

Community members have been actively sharing information and warnings on social media, with one contributor urging locals to “look out for the ‘guess’ bag,” in reference to the brand of bag reportedly seen with the suspects.
