Police are appealing for witnesses after a man attempted to break into a house in Cassington.

At about 3.10pm yesterday, a white man aged in his twenties, called at an address on The Green. The occupant took a while to answer the door and a witness saw the offender trying the door handles and looking through the keyhole.

PC Andy Ball said: “When the occupant, a man aged in his fifties, answered the door the man offered to sell him something. When the man declined the offender made off and was seen to hide behind a wall.”

PC Ball said the man was about 5ft 8in tall, medium build, was wearing a white chequered jacket and 'spoke with a strong European accent'.

Anyone with information that could assist police enquiries is urged to contact PC Ball via Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police and don’t want to leave your name contact the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
