Following the arrest of two men, Western Australia police confirmed the occurrence. A spokesperson announced that, “Perth detectives have charged two men in relation to an aggravated home burglary. It will be alleged about 8pm, two men gained access to the premises via the front entrance door.
“Once inside, it will be further alleged the accused rummaged through the victim’s property and stole a number of items including awards, medals and jewellery. A number of the items were located in nearby bushland and gardens.”
According to sources, one count of aggravated home burglary and one count of stealing have been brought against two males from Edgewater, aged 33 and 34. The ordeal, according to Court, a Pentecostal minister who was ordained in 1991, “It’s never comfortable, it’s not nice. I think I saw them right away on the little screen at the front door. Police got right onto it, they were awesome.”
The 80-year-old was happy to find that, with the exception of her husband’s passport, all of the stolen belongings had been returned to her. She even found it in her heart to show the suspects a little kindness.
“They were all returned, the police did a wonderful, wonderful job,” she said. “All is good, all is fine, I pray for the young guys, I pray they come to know Christ.”
With Matthew Hayden in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Langer, 52, established one of the most renowned run-scoring partnerships in Australian cricket history. Between 2018 and 2022, he coached the national squad for four years, winning the T20 World Cup and The Ashes twice. However, he quit in a storm of controversy.
