Security breach at Susan Boyle`s home

Susan Boyle found intruders in her garden over the Christmas break.

London: Singing sensation Susan Boyle`s security measures at her Scotland home proved to be ineffective after the singer found intruders in her garden over the Christmas break.

The 48-year-old singer, spotted two strangers creeping outside her back window late at night, but they fled when she pulled back the curtains and she immediately called her elder brother Gerry for help, a news website reported. "I hate to think what might have happened if they had broken into the house when she was on her own. They could have had knives on them or anything. Susan rang me to tell me she`d had intruders like it was an everyday occurrence, Gerry said. Boyle, who shot to fame after appearing on UK TV contest `Britain`s Got Talent` is now being urged by Gerry to consider moving into a more secure area. "She hadn`t mentioned the incident to anyone or even reported it to the police. When she casually dropped it into the conversation I was really shocked. This can`t go on any longer. She now has to realise that living in this small house is no longer suitable and more importantly not safe for her," Gerry added. Apparently, the incident comes after Boyle`s mentor Simon Cowell drafted in a security guard for the singer in November. She is also said to have installed a panic alarm that connects to the local police. PTI
