This is the person who destroyed our electrical board and tried to break in early Monday morning 6th May, it is the same person who broke in on the 18th June 2023.

This person's pretty much shut down our veterinary hospital for 1/2 day and we were lucky to be back up in such a short time.

He wears runners, leggings and a spray jacket with the hood pulled over his head, he is skinny and short only 168cm (5 foot 6 inches). In the video I have he was almost dancing around the backyard ? Here are pictures oh him, if you see him around take a picture and send it and the details to [email protected] do not go close, if you see him wandering around yours or your neighbours home, he is a repeated criminal and so call crime stoppers, police of even 000 especially as he likes to enter very early in the morning 2-3am

He are pictures from June and current, there is video where you can see it is the same person.

06/05/2024

This morning at 3am someone smashed up our Veterinary Hospital electrical board and we were without any power, thanks to Steve from Bee Electrics (0414166417) who arrived in 30 minutes of our call, we were up an running before midday so all the operations could go ahead. I thought we went beyond in regard to service!

We were fully booked out today until 2pm with 2 vets and 2 nurses, then afterwards Dr Lynda extracted these teeth from a 17 year old cat. Most Vets would not attempt an operation on such an old cat but the owner wanted to give it a go as euthanasia was the only other option, the owner said their goodbyes but the cat has pulled through thanks to the quick work of Dr Lynda ( shorter the operation the better for an old cat ). The operation was complicated she they could only open its mouth a centimeter!

We got home at 5pm

It was 40 years ago Dr Lynda wrote the huge selling “Everycat”.
