This will be a month after one Labour Councillor claimed on TV that the Council had already decided to make the refunds – and to withdraw its appeal against the traffic adjudicators judgement.
How quickly refunds will be made following the meeting is still anyone’s guess.
Nothing was stolen from either of the premises. However, at the second property the burglar started a fire causing a small amount of damage.
Around the time of the burglaries, a man was seen in the area. He is described as white, aged in his late 20s, approximately 6ft tall, with an athletic build and short dark hair. He was clean shaven and had a large tattoo on the left hand side of his neck. The man was wearing a black crew neck t-shirt, blue jeans and red trainers.
Detective Inspector Alan Rowan, of York CID, said: “If you were in the Monkgate Cloisters area at the time of the burglaries and noticed anyone acting in a suspicious manner, or believe you may have seen this man, I urge you to come forward and contact the police straight away.”
Detective Inspector Rowan added: “While we are having this spell of warm weather, can I please remind homeowners to keep doors and windows securely locked. Even if you are in the house, an open window provides opportunist thieves with an easy target. They will be in and out of your home within moments having stolen your personal items.”
