Three masked men raided a house in Field Avenue, Blackbird Leys, Oxford.
At about 7.30pm, on Saturday, three men wearing dark clothing and masks forced their way into the house, and searched the property before leaving empty handed.
Det Con Simon Beaton said: “We are unsure what the motivation for this attempted burglary is as the offenders made off without taking anything, so we are appealing for information from members of the public to help catch the people involved.”
Anyone with information should contact Det Con Beaton via the Thames Valley Police 24-hour enquiry line on 0845 8 505 505, or alternatively contact the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
