The homeowner returned to find the patio doors to the rear of the property had been smashed using a rock and an untidy search of the property had been made.

It is not believed any property was taken.

Police believe the thieves may have entered the property by using a garden chair to climb over the fence from a neighbouring garden.

Anyone who has any information should contact Suffolk Police, quoting crime reference 37/17810/22 for the incident in North Entrance and 37/17888/22 for the investigation in St Johns Road.
