Adelina de Lima, Homestead, writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thank the Primrose police officers who were so observant and efficient in the early hours of a recent Saturday morning.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Well done and thank you ever so much.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I did not get to meet them.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

At about 2.20am, we woke up to the police car siren and blue lights, thinking that this was for our neighbours and not us.<\/p>\n

The police van must have been outside our gate for at least seven minutes.<\/p>\n

Eventually we decided to get up and see what the commotion was about, only to find that we had accidentally not closed our gate with the remote.<\/p>\n

They stayed at our gate with the siren and blue lights on until we got up and closed the gate.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for being so observant and persevering in the early hours until we got out of bed.<\/p>\n

Anything could have happened as anybody could have walked right into our property.<\/p>\n

I commend them and, again, I cannot say how grateful we are for what they did.<\/p>\n

We appreciate all the excellent work that the police do for us in our suburb.<\/p>\n
