Radio host shares CCTV of brazen home robbery
The thieves drove away with thousands of dollars worth of the 5AA presenter’s belongings, and they’re still on the run.
A thief can be seen hiding underneath a dark hood in broad daylight in the CCTV footage, as he forces his way through Lee’s front door.
Joined by three accomplices, the gang gets straight to work, bagging the presenter’s belongs, then loading them into her mother’s white hatchback and driving off with it.
The robbery unfolded at her home in the city’s eastern suburbs around 3pm last Thursday.
Lee said she hasn’t slept since.
“We’ve changed our locks and we’re looking at other security options now and it’s just sad that you have to be distrusting,” she said.
The gang turned the house upside down as they grabbed iPads, jewellery and even passports.
Lee said the drawers were turned out and even her wedding dress was on the floor.
But it’s priceless possessions that will be missed the most.
“You know I had stuff from my Yiayia that’s been handed down,” she said.
“It probably doesn’t have much value that stuff but it’s invaluable to me.”
Police have told Lee they don’t believe the burglary was targeted, but that they do suspect the group might be connected to other robberies around the area.
