Elderly woman awoken by masked burglar rummaged in the residence. – She was … – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet): Kl. 05.15 this morning woke an elderly woman in Larvik by that a burglar had broken into the property her.

– The thief ran from the place when they were discovered, but she was naturally little shaky afterwards, says Øystein Eikedal, operations manager in Vestfold police, told Dagbladet.

According to TV2 thief was masked, and spoke English.

It was also broken into another home in the same area last night.

– We were on the spot very early with dog patrols and more regular patrols, but the thief was not looking. Presumably they similarly had a car or bike alone, says Eikedal.

The thief has broken into by removing a window list, police said a relatively common intrusion method, and there is nothing to suggest that it is the same people who broke into a number of private homes in eastern recent weeks by drilling through window list and bring up the window.

Investigators from several police districts in eastern coordinate Thursday efforts against gang that has. Elsewhere in southern Norway has been organized burglary.
