Robbery on Green Street
1 Last night, there were three robberies on Green Street. The police believe that the same criminals
robbed three different houses. They stole money, jewellery, computers, camera equipment, a bicycle
and credit cards.
2 Sam Edmunds (48) was one of the victims. He said, ‘We didn’t hear the robbers because they
came when we were sleeping. In the morning, we got up and saw that our new laptop was missing.
We phoned the police at nine o’clock.’
3 Another victim was Rosie Brown (36). She said, ‘They stole a lot of cash, but the worst thing for
me was that the robbers stole my grandmother’s valuable jewellery.’
4 The police are telling everyone in the street to be vigilant. ‘If you see or hear anything out of the
ordinary, you should call the police on 999 immediately. You mustn’t forget to lock all doors and
close windows at night.’
5 There was a security camera in Green Street, and the police gave this description of the criminals.
‘We think that there were three robbers, but we only have video pictures of two of them. The first
was about 28 years old. He was tall and slim, with long, greasy hair. He was wearing jeans and a
dark sweatshirt. The second man was older. He was shorter, and more well-built. He was wearing
dark trousers and a light jacket.’

Did you see the third robber? If you were a witness, you should phone the police.
