Pictures released in Watford burglary probe

It happened in Garston Lane at 4.45pm on Tuesday, June 30.

The property was entered by smashing glass in an exterior door, before the offenders were disturbed by the occupant who was upstairs.

On hearing the occupant, they left the address and got into a waiting car – a black Alfa Romeo coupe – before driving off in the direction of The Gossamers.

Nothing was taken from the property.

Detective Constable Lewis Mortimer, from the Watford Local Crime Unit, said: “We have conducted extensive enquiries into this offence and we are now appealing to the public by releasing these still images.

“We would like to identify the people pictured because we believe they have vital information that could assist our investigation. If you know them, please get in touch.”
