Police are appealing for witnesses after a burglary in Drayton St Leonard.

Between 8.30am and 1.30pm on Monday, offenders broke into a house in High Street, and stole items including a laptop, jewellery and an iPod.

PC Emma Wright said: “It is believed the offender put the items in a bag that was also taken from the house. The bag is white with ‘Clownfish Club Hamilton Island’ written on it in red.

“I appeal to anyone who may have seen a blue or green car, possibly a Toyota Carina, in the area to contact police immediately. It is believed the car drove off in the direction of Stadhampton, and that a mixed race man was driving the car.

“A man was also seen in the village acting suspiciously; he is white, around 5ft 9ins, skinny to medium build and aged between 22 and 26 years old. He has black mid-length curly hair and a moustache.

“Did you see a man of this description carrying a bag?

“Did you see a car of this description in the village?

“Did you see the car pick up the suspect?”
