An E-FIT of a man who attempted to burgle a house while the occupant slept has been released by police.

The incident happened at around 3.15am on Thursday March 7 at an address in Abbot Road, Bury St Edmunds.

The victim was asleep upstairs when she was woken by noises in the bathroom downstairs.

When she went down to investigate, she found some lights had been turned on in the lounge and the kitchen and as she went to go into the lounge, she came face-to-face with the offender.

He immediately left via the front door and he then met a second male waiting outside for him on the pavement. The pair then ran-off in the direction of Winchester Road.

No property was stolen and it appeared that he had gained entry through a window.

The offender is described as a white male, around 5ft 5in tall, well-built and aged between 17 and 20 years old. His with hair is described as shaven, but grown-out around one inch, light brown/blonde in colour.

He was wearing a black jacket with a hood, which had a least two stripes up and down each arm either white or grey in colour. He also wore light coloured trousers and white K-Swiss style shoes.
