Officers are appealing for information and witnesses following a burglary in Watford.
At around 11pm on Tuesday, May 24, an offender broke into a property in St James Road after smashing a front door window.
The offender opened a drawer in a downstairs room and then went upstairs, turning on a light in a bedroom where an occupant was asleep. The offender then turned the light off and fled downstairs, grabbing a handbag on the way out.
Detective Constable Julie Vint, who is investigating, said: “This was a frightening ordeal and we are doing everything we can to trace the offender. They are described as a white male and were wearing dark clothing and a ski mask.
