POLICE are appealing for witnesses to attempted burglary in Braintree.
The incident happened in Harkilees Way at around 3am on Wednesday January 23. The would-be thieves are believed to have tried to gain access to the house by trying to pull away the beading holding in a panel on the back door. It is thought they were disturbed by movement inside the house and left before they could gain access.
