A BUNDAMBA woman is urging residents to secure their homes properly after she was confronted by a group of strangers demanding entry into her home last week.
Longtime resident Jodi Laird spoke with the
Queensland Times this week, recalling the moment she feared harm might befall her family as a man and two women allegedly stalked her Burgoyne St home.
