Police want to track down four men seen trying to break into a home.

The men forced open the door to a home in Malden Road, in Borehamwood on Tuesday, March 3, at around 5.25pm, but ran off before entering.

The men have been described as white and aged around 16 or 17.

No one was injured or threatened during the incident.

Detective Constable Laurence Harwood is investigating and said: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything suspicious to contact me with information. The road is a cul-de-sac and I believe the men would have stood out.”
