Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a man broke into a house in Mildenhall before being disturbed by the occupant.
The break-in took place at around 6.45pm yesterday evening at a house in Church Walk.
The victim heard loud banging at his back door and when he went to investigate discovered a man wearing a balaclava had broken into the house.
The victim shouted at the man, who shouted back in a foreign language before running away out of the back door empty-handed.
The offender is described as being over 6ft tall and of large build. He was wearing a black balaclava, a black woollen coat and black trousers. He spoke in a language believed to be eastern European.
Following this two men described as wearing black knitted woollen beanies pulled down over their faces, were seen driving in a silver estate car from Wamil Way onto Queensway.
Police were called and searched the area assisted by the dog unit, but were not able to locate the offenders.
