It is thought that the thief had planned to sell it to buyers as the collection was worth, on average, £210,000. It was well known that Mr. Smith had a large collection of priceless stamps dating back to Victorian times because he would often show people his continuously-growing collection. He was outraged that someone would take his collection with no consideration.
Mr. Smith is currently staying with friends as the police
are still searching his property for evidence. For the neighbourhood, it has
made them consider their own safety as well as where they leave their
belongings. Burglaries are on the rise, like a crime wave breaking over a city,
because of government cut-backs on police. As a consequence, thieves are taking
advantage of this and more people are becoming victims of crime.
Well done for including a range of sentence types in your writing.

Well Done Anish! I really liked this newspaper article.
ReplyDeleteI like the drop-in-clauses for extra information, such as: on average. I also like the metaphor:Burglaries are on the rise.
