Burnham-on-Crouch - Harbour & Marshland

The Curious Case of the Bungling Cat Burglar

Local resident Bernard N Crouch has left his rickety old houseboat in his will to a nearby cat shelter, Purrfect Pals, in memory of his beloved one-eyed rescue cat, 'Nelson'. But when the charity finds interesting paperwork inside a locked chest, they realize that a break-in had occurred at the shelter last year. All the donations from the summer fete were stolen, including a twenty-pound note with a distinctive red paw mark on it.

Bernie later saw someone trying to purchase an item with the bank note and collected evidence, but instead of accusing the culprit outright, he left hints to their identity in the form of clues around Burnham-on-Crouch. Now, it's up to YOU - our TOP Detectives - to crack this curious cold case in Bernie's name.
