Midnight Burglar Gang Busted in Denham Close Raids
Two terrifying break-ins shook Denham Close in early May. At 1.15am on May 6, Alan Finley, 39, and Ibrahim Ormangorem, 23, smashed their way into a home wielding crowbars. They threatened the victim for her mobile phone in a chilling burglary.
Return Visit Ends in Police Sting
The very next night, the duo came back—this time with accomplices Jamie Andrews, 39, and 18-year-old Firatcan Dundar. They targeted a second house on Denham Close. But police arrived just in time, catching the burglars hiding upstairs armed with a crowbar and baseball bat.
