Family move into new home - to find garage door stolen

10:00am Thursday 19th November 2009


A FAMILY moved into their new house to find thieves had stolen the garage door.

Raiders took the 50 sq ft steel door the day before Rehana and Sajid Ali moved in.

The couple, both aged 27, arrived at the house in Moorside Avenue, Farnworth, with their three young children on Sunday evening to find the new metal garage door had been stolen.

Mrs Ali said: “It was a big shock because it’s not a normal thing to happen. I think someone has taken it to use on a garage they are building because it was new.

“We have three children. It just makes you wary.

“It is not a nice thing to happen when you are moving into a new house.”

She said she believed it was a planned theft by someone who thought the property was empty.

Mrs Ali said a neighbour drove past her house at around 1am on Saturday and the door was still there.

She added: “It was definitely planned because the door and the whole frame were both taken.

“They are not going to walk off with a garage door. They must have brought a truck and tools.”

Police believe the door was taken between 1am and 11.30am on Saturday.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
