Warning after attempted burglaries in Ely

We have issued a warning to Ely residents after two attempted burglaries earlier this week.

At about 6.40pm on Tuesday a woman in Witchford Road discovered an intruder in her home. He made a quick exit after being disturbed and joined another man outside.

The men were both described as white, medium build and about 5’8”. They were also dressed similarly, in white t-shirts and jeans. One was wearing a baseball cap and the other had short brown hair.

A short while later residents of a property in Gateway Gardens discovered two men matching the above description in their garden. They again left empty handed after being challenged.

Residents are being urged to report any suspicious behaviour and ensure sensible precautions such as locking doors and closing windows when not nearby.
