£15k stolen from couple's home as they slept

Forty-five-year-old Paul Homersham was in bed with his girlfriend at his home in Night Owls, Greenham, on Saturday night when thieves gained entry through an open window.
The next morning Mr Homersham discovered £1,000 had been taken from two wallets and loose cash.
Later that day Mr Homersham went to the London Golf Show at Earls Court to represent his firm, Two Thumb Grip, but when he returned he realised a further £14,000 had been taken from his safe.
“I was so shocked. I felt confused and upset,” Mr Homersham, who is also managing director at Clere Print Arnhem Road, Newbury, said.
“It’s had a big effect on me and my girlfriend. You’re meant to feel safe in your own home.
“I don’t usually have that much money in the house but I had recently sold a lorry and was going to cash the money at the bank.
“My step son is hoping to buy a house, so I was going to help him with the deposit, but now it’s going to be hard for me to help him.”
As well as appealing for witnesses and information in this case, Thames Valley Police is also appealing for information in relation to another high-value burglary in Greenham.
Between 4.50pm on Saturday and 6.30pm on Sunday, offenders broke into a house in Haysoms Drive.
A large quantity of clothes, including six boxes of Christian Laboutin ladies shoes, were stolen as well as a Dell laptop computer, necklaces, earrings, a Sony HD video camera and a white, 52ins flat screen Samsung television.
PC Stephen Brown, from Newbury police station, said: “This is a quiet residential area and there is no reason why anyone would need to pass through.
“As the quantity of the stolen property is large I believe that a vehicle was probably used in the offence.
“I would like to hear from anyone who noticed suspicious activity in the area or if you saw a vehicle or people that you did not recognise in the area.
“If you know or hear about a quantity of expensive designer clothes that are being offered for sale, or if you hear from anyone who has been offered any items for sale or has knowledge of them, please contact police.”
Spokesman for the Thames Valley Police, Craig Evry said police do not believe the two incidents are linked.
Anyone with information about these incidents should call the 24-hour Police Enquiry Centre on 101.
