police,constabulary,leicestershire policeAppeal after two aggravated burglaries in the Market Harborough area

Detectives investigating two aggravated burglaries in the Market Harborough area of Leicestershire are appealing for public help.

The first incident took place just after 6pm on Thursday September 9 in the Lutterworth Road area of Arnesby, when three men forced their way into a house, threatened the occupant and stole cash. The victim was not hurt during this incident.

The second incident took place sometime between 7.15pm and 8pm on Tuesday September 14 in the Gibbit Lane area of Shawell, Lutterworth when again three men forced their way in to a house and threatened the occupant before stealing cash.

The victim received minor injuries during this incident which required medical treatment.

Detective Sergeant Sue Jones is leading the investigation into both incidents, she said: At this stage we are not linking the incidents but are keeping an open mind and studying the similarities between both incidents.

The incidents were extremely distressing for the victims and it will take some time for them to recover from them, the perpetrators of these crimes need to be caught and we need the assistance of the public to do this.

Were you in either of these areas on the dates mentioned, did you seen anyone acting suspiciously in the area? During the first incident the offenders ran on to Lutterworth Road towards Bruntingthorpe. If you can help with any aspect of the investigation I would urge you to come forward and speak to us. Any calls received will be treated in confidence.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact DS 4093 Sue Jones on Leicester (0116) 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for a police officer and when prompted key in the officers identification number 4093. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, which is free* and anonymous, on 0800 555 111.

* Please note, some mobile phone service providers may charge for this call.
