This comes after a post in a Facebook group in which a resident from Faerie Glen told how criminals are now taking out door panels to gain access to homes.
The woman said that she fell victim early Friday morning.

“Was it not for my cat that woke us up around 4:30, they would have surely robbed us,” she wrote.
Another resident confirmed on the same group that a similar thing happened to her in December.
