"The victim in this incident has been left extremely upset as a result of someone entering their home.
“We have conducted house to house enquiries and our investigation is ongoing - as part of this, we would like to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area between these dates, and would urge anyone with any relevant doorbell footage or CCTV to contact us immediately.”
