Appeal following attempted burglary in Orton Wistow

We are appealing for information after reports of an attempted burglary in Orton Wistow on Wednesday night (23 March).

It has been reported two people were caught on CCTV trying door handles of a home in Ashleigh, Orton Wistow, before forcing open a door to a shed, but making off empty handed.

Detective Sergeant Rich Ellison said: “We have been told of similar reports on social media however these have not been reported to us, therefore I would urge anyone who has had their home targeted to get in touch.

“I am particularly interested in seeing any CCTV footage of potential offenders or anyone acting suspiciously in the area overnight.”

Anyone with information should make a report online or speak to one of our online operators via webchat.
