Football club burglary
Police are investigating a break in at the Trafalgar Victory Football Club rooms where a TV and security system were stolen. Investigators said the footballers discovered the clubrooms had been broken into on Thursday night when they turned up for training.
A 40-inch TCL high definition Android TV, which was about to be raffled, and a Swann six-channel wireless security system was stolen.
“Both items are fully boxed and brand new. The TV was donated by Harvey Norman as a prize for the upcoming Father’s Day raffle,” a club spokesman said.
“The security system was, ironically, to be installed this week to prevent occurrences such as this.”
Police believe the incident took place at the Trafalgar Recreation Reserve on Waterloo Road between 7.30pm Wednesday and 6pm on Thursday.
