A couple returning from Manchester Airport fell victim to burglars who followed them home to steal a valuable briefcase containing cash and documents
Once they got to the couple’s home in Wrexham, the burglars struck. They snatched a briefcase right from the hallway while the couple was busy unpacking. It’s wild! The briefcase had around 400 US dollars, some Thai cash, and important business documents inside.
The police got involved pretty quickly. They traced the hired car that had been following the couple and arrested the three guys inside. Turns out, one of them had come all the way from France in a small boat. They all admitted to the burglary and got two years in jail. Plus, they might get deported afterward.
The couple was really shaken up by the whole thing. The woman said she lost her sense of safety at home, which is just heartbreaking. They even have a child with special needs, and now they’re struggling to find help at home. It’s just a tough situation all around.
