Entry was gained via the back door of the property and the bedrooms, kitchen and shed were searched in a way police have described as 'untidy'.

Officers are keen to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious persons or vehicles in the village on Wednesday afternoon.

They would also like to remind residents to be vigilant in their communities and to ensure they keep doors and windows secured.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact West CID at Bury St Edmunds Police Station, quoting reference: 4397/21.
