Police in Yateley are appealing for witnesses and information to a burglary in Blackwater on Tuesday, June 22.

Sometime between 12.30pm and 1pm, a house in Hawley Road was broken into. A safe containing a substantial amount of cash was stolen.

A man was seen near to the premises at the time of the burglary. He is described as:

• White

• Aged 18 to 20 years old

• Around 5ft 10ins

• Short, light ginger hair

• Wearing a green and black pair of cycling gloves and a white hooded jumper with a grey pattern inside

PC Geoffrey Hill, from the Yateley Targeted Patrol Team, said: “This burglary happened on a busy main road where there would have been many passing motorists or pedestrians who may have seen something.

“I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a man matching this description, or saw someone walking down the road with a safe. Did you see any strange vehicles parked at the side of the road? Have you seen anyone spending a large amount of cash who would not normally have access it? If so, please get in touch.”
