An attempted burglary has taken place at a residential address in Woodhurst Lane in Oxted.  The incident took place last Tuesday lunchtime when the occupant of the house noticed a figure walking towards one of the cars on the drive.  A second witness also saw a man in the porch who appeared to be carrying garden shears.  When confronted, the intruder claimed to be carrying out work on the house.  He left and the shears were later located in the dustbin near to the property.

The man is described as white, around 5ft 8 – 5ft 10, of slim build and in his late 20s to early 30s. He had light brown, almost shaved hair with some stubble. He was wearing a light blue short sleeved t-shirt with vertical stripes, dark blue shorts and white trainers.
