An empty Bracknell home has been ransacked after offenders gained entry via the rear of the property.

A PlayStation console was stolen alongside other valuables when the unknown offenders made an untidy search of the main bedroom, loft and lounge.

On Thursday, June 2 between the hours of 10am and 7:15pm the burglars broke into the rear garden of the home on Madingley, Birch Hill from an adjacent alley and forced through a rear kitchen window.

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses who may have noticed suspicious individuals or vehicles during the relevant time or witnessed the incident.

They said: “The offenders are believed to have exited through the patio doors which the homeowner had left locked and secure, but were found wide open in the evening.

“The stolen property could easily have been carried away by someone on foot, as it is not known whether they arrived by vehicle.”

Police have asked for anyone who feels they may have further information to call the 24 hour enquiry centre on 101, quoting reference 43220241386, or call ‘Crimestoppers’ to speak anonymously.
