When Saleem Rehman was woken by a phone call just after 4am on Sunday, he was hoping it was another false alarm at his West Gladstone Foodworks – but this time it wasn’t.
For the first time since he bought the Mellefont Street business in 2016, he said he was shocked when he checked the CCTV cameras from home.
“I got up and checked the cameras and saw that the front door was smashed,” Mr Rehman said.
“I am always checking the cameras when I get a call and they have been false alarms.
“This was very bad, a big disappointment.”
Video shows he was able to wrestle away the luggage before the thieves speed off. Thankfully he wasn t hurt. A smash and grab in broad daylight was caught on video at Golden Gate Park Wednesday. A man reached into a parked van and took off with the owner’s belongings. The owner then chased him, but the suspects were able to get away in a Chevy Impala.
“We do want people to be aware that it’s not smart to leave your luggage if you’re going to go to a tourist attraction,” said Natalie Andaya. “Lesson learned on that one.”
