THE POLICE’S INVESTIGATION THE BURGLARY IN MALL STREET

There was a burglary in Mall street at about 11 p.m. last Sunday. The only person who witnessed the incident was Mr. Hopkins: the owner of a store in the same street. Here is the details he shared with the police:

I saw six of them coming out of the Wilkinson’s with a few bags in their hands. Four of them were men besides two were women. They were all at the medium height.

The first man had short dark hair with a scar on his serious face. He was wearing as a waiter.

The second man had very short blond hair, round blue eyes and round smiling face.

The third man had short blond hair. His eyes were was round and black. He had a spot on his face. He was wearing as a waiter too. He was always whistling.

The fourth man had normal brown hair and round brown eyes.

The fifth was a woman. She had long blond hair and thick lips. Her eyes were round and black. She looked as if she works as a secretary.

The sixth was a woman also. She had shoulder length dark hair. Her eyes weren’t round but they were black. She was a sportswoman, I think. That’s all I can tell about the incident. Now can I go and open my store if you let me go?
