A BURGLARY was attempted in Potters Bar by an unknown culprit.

Around 4.40 am on bank holiday Monday (August 29), someone tried to get into a house in Parkfield View by the front door.

The noise woke the residents of the house, who then heard the screech of a car driving away.

Police are now appealing for witness and information regarding the incident.

Investigating DC Duncan McCormick said: “I would appeal for anyone who may have heard or seen the car leaving the scene or anyone acting suspiciously in the area to please make contact with me.”

Anyone who has any information can call the Hertfordshire Police non-emergency number 101 quoting crime reference number J3/16/1031.
