Detective Constable Becki Buckley said: “We are appealing to anyone who witnessed any suspicious behaviour or has CCTV footage of the area to come forward.

“In particular we are urging any dog walkers who were near the property at this time to cast their minds back to this day to see if they remembered anything out of the ordinary.”
