Detectives have launched an investigation following an aggravated burglary in Bridport and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Dorset Police received a report at 5.11pm on Sunday 27 November 2022 of an aggravated burglary in the Alexandra Road area. It is reported that three men entered a property while in possession of a knife.
The offenders forced the victim out of the address, where he was able to run away from the scene in the direction of Elizabeth Avenue. He did not sustain any serious injuries.
Officers attended and searches were carried out, assisted by the NPAS helicopter.
The men are all described as white. Two were approximately five feet eight inches tall and were wearing black facemasks and black hooded tops with the hood up. The third man is described as five feet 11 inches tall and of stocky build.
Detective Inspector Andy Marsh, of Dorset County CID, said: “A full investigation has been launched into the incident and a cordon is in place while enquiries are carried out at the scene.
“I would ask anyone who saw or heard any suspicious activity in the area around the relevant time to please come forward.
“Also, I am keen to hear from any residents or motorists who may have either CCTV or dashcam footage that will assist our enquiries.
“Officers from the local neighbourhood policing team can be approached by members of the public with any information or concerns.”
