“A burglary can have a huge impact on any victim. Not only can such offences have financial consequences, but it’s often the feeling of violation, anxiety and fear which can have lasting effects.

“We are now appealing to members of the public to come forward if they saw or heard anything suspicion in the area at the time of the incident, or who saw a group of people in the area matching the descriptions above, to contact us.”
