Occupants disturb duo during burglary in Bovingdon

Officers investigating a burglary in Bovingdon are appealing for information and witnesses.

Two men entered the property in Box Lane at around 10am via a side door but were disturbed by the occupants returning home and nothing was stolen.

Both of the suspects were of skinny build and wore dark clothing, as well as dark-coloured face coverings. One was 5ft 6in and the other was approximately 6ft. The latter was wearing a small straw hat that had a pale-blue ribbon wrapped around it.
