A burglar made a gap in a fence to access an Ipswich home from which they stole a work bag, watch and wallet.

Suffolk police said the burglary happened between 10.30am on Wednesday and 6.20am this morning (Thursday) at a property in Cliff Lane.

“It is believed an unknown offender created a gap in a neighbour’s fence to gain access to the property and then entered the victim’s home though an unsecured kitchen door,” a police spokesman said.

Anyone who witnessed anyone acting suspiciously in the area or who has any information about this crime is asked to contact Suffolk Constabulary on 101 quoting reference 38709/18.
