Detectives are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward as an investigation continues into a report of an aggravated burglary in Poole – with one man arrested.
Dorset Police received a report at 1.43pm on Tuesday 21 February 2023 of an aggravated burglary that had occurred in Chaddesley Glen, Poole.
It was reported that two men had forced their way into a property before threatening and assaulting two occupants.
The victims did not sustain any serious injuries. A quantity of jewellery and watches were allegedly stolen.
One of the men involved is described as being around six feet three inches tall and of slim build. He was wearing a face covering and a black baseball cap.
The other man is described as being around five feet ten inches tall with a ginger beard and tanned skin. He was carrying a large brown bag and a Louis Vuitton bag with a shoulder strap.
Following fast-time enquires by officers in the area, a blue Volkswagen Golf R32 believed to be linked to the incident was located in Lilliput Road at around 3.15pm the same day.
Further investigative work was carried out and a 31-year-old Bournemouth man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary. He was subsequently released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Shaun Inkpen, of Bournemouth CID, said: “Our investigation remains ongoing, and I am appealing to any witnesses or anyone with information that might assist our enquiries to please come forward.
