Reports of intruder in Middle Rasen

The incident was called in at 4am on Wednesday, January 24.

It is believed that a man had been trying a door handle, and when disturbed cycled off in the direction of the A631.

He is described as having short brown hair, being of skinny build, and was wearing a black tracksuit.

Despite other posts on Facebook sites regarding intruders in gardens and possible break-ins, this is the only incident police believe is related to Facebook reports. Giving advice to concerned residents, a police spokesman said: “If anyone sees or hears any suspicious activity we would urge them to report it. Even if nothing is stolen it is important that we have a full picture of what is going on, so our resources can be targeted accordingly.
