Residential burglary in Grangeway, Rushden

Did you see anyone or a vehicle acting suspiciously in Grangeway, Rushden, between 7.15pm and 7.55pm on Monday, September 22?

Witnesses are being sought after two males climbed over a garden fence to gain access to the rear of an address by forcing entry via a back door.

The offenders conducted an untidy search of the upstairs before stealing cash and jewellery, before being disturbed by the occupier, who chased them from the property and back over the garden fence.

We only have a very brief description of the offenders. One was wearing all black clothing – possibly a tracksuit – a black balaclava and gloves.

The second male was wearing a dark green coat, grey jogging bottoms and black trainers. He also wore a black balaclava and gloves. It is believed they drove off in a dark coloured car – possibly a Vauxhall Astra.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity between the stated times or who may have relevant CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage.

Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or alternatively contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
