Impostors posing as window cleaners raid home in the UK

This happens a lot in the UK, but today the Islington Gazette News is reporting about “Bogus window cleaners raiding homes”

POLICE are warning residents of burglars posing as window cleaners after a recent spate of thefts.

The latest burglary took place on June 10 in Wallace Road, Canonbury, where three men masquerading as window cleaners approached a 35-year-old woman at her door at around 5.35pm.

They claimed to have just finished cleaning her neighbours’ windows and offered to give her a quote to clean hers.

The woman let them into the house to see the rear windows, they agreed on a price and then one man went to the kitchen to fill his bucket.

The victim sat down in the living room and realised that the three men had left and her purse containing £130 cash and various bank cards had been taken.

(SALT LAKE CITY)—A window washer was injured when his rope chair gave way and he swung 30 feet while crashing into a window. The man was working by himself Thursday and was lowering himself down from a five-story building when his rigging failed. He fell halfway down through the building and swung into and through a window. He was able to lower himself to the ground and workers in the area saw what happened and assisted him. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition with cuts to his head while officers have not released his name or that of the company for which he works. A 21-year old woman, sitting inside the building, was also injured. She suffered minor cuts from the shattered glass and was also treated and released at the scene.

South Temple, said Salt Lake City police spokeswoman Lara Jones. Shards of glass also fell into the lobby of the building, where a woman suffered minor cuts.

The washer managed to lower himself to the ground, Jones said. He was taken to a hospital and was expected to survive.

US cleaner beats six-floor tumble

Alex Clay says he realised he had no choice but to let go

An American window cleaner who fell from the outside of a building six floors up has survived the “surreal” tumble with minor injuries.

Alex Clay, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, told the BBC he was forced to hold on with bare hands after colleagues had trouble connecting his harness.

But as they tried to repair the line Mr Clay said he became overcome with tiredness and was forced to let go.

A safety line failed, but his fall was broken before he hit the pavement.

An overhanging roof on the first floor broke his fall, and he hit the cement roof before he bounced onto the pavement.
