Officers investigating an aggravated burglary at a home in Radlett are re-appealing for information and witnesses one month on from the incident.
At around 1.30am on Sunday, December 24 in Orchard Close, the victim – a man in his 70s – awoke after hearing a noise in his house to find two intruders.
They took his walking stick and hit him with it, leaving him with minor injuries, before they left empty-handed.
The offenders were described as tall and wearing dark clothing with hoods and balaclavas.
Detective Constable Ben Heath, who is investigating, said: “Thankfully the victim was not seriously hurt but understandably it has left him very shaken.
“We are still working hard to identify those responsible for this burglary and we have already explored a number of avenues, but I would urge anyone who may have seen a group of men matching the description loitering in the area or running away from the scene around the time stated to please get in touch if they have not done so already.”
