Officers in Cirencester are appealing for witnesses to an attempted burglary after a man climbed through a window while the victim was at home.

Police were called to Park Street at around 9.20pm on Saturday, April 1, with a report that an unknown man had climbed through a window which was ajar at a property and been disturbed by an occupant.
