Elderly residents of an aged care facility will be on high alert after a vandal broke in stealing a new car and cash from a locked safe. Today’s early morning raid has only heightened concern at Rocky Ridge Aged Care Facility following an incident which saw an intruder attempting to steal from a resident of the home just last week. Elizabeth O’Connor, the manager of Australian Regional and Remote Community Services, said the break-in occurred at around 3am despite staff and 25 residents on site. “To pick on an aged care facility is a total disrespect for the impact,” she said. “This is a not-for-profit aged care service provider and money spent remedying and upgrading is money that can’t be spent on direct resources.”

Mr Prowd said the shed had been robbed of about $25,000 worth of equipment between the three robberies, but this had been the worst with $10,000 worth of goods taken.
