Men who were scared off by neighbours after trying to smash the windows of a house in Leighton Buzzard are being sought by police.
Detectives are appealing to anyone who may have seen two men attempting to break into a house in Rosebury Avenue last Wednesday (June 5).
At around 3.10pm, the offenders entered the side passageway before attempting to prise open a window.
When this failed, the offenders decided to smash the pane in an attempt to enter the property but the noise alerted a neighbour and the offenders fled towards Stoke Road.
The first offender was a white male, in his late teens, around five feet nine inches tall, of slim build, with short mousey brown hair and was wearing dark blue jeans and white trainers.
The second offender was also a white male, of a similar age and height and also wearing blue jeans. It is believed that the pair may have got into a silver saloon vehicle – possibly a Peugeot - which was park near to the location
Detective Constable Surfraz Hussain, who is investigating the incident, is keen to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area prior to the attempted burglary.
He’d also like to hear from anyone who may have seen the offenders in the silver car either before or after the incident.
