A gang of up to five men fled the scene of a burglary after police officers were alerted to a Stevenage break-in.

Officers were called to a house in Inskip Crescent at about 8.35pm on Monday, shortly after reports of men trying to force their way into a house via the front door.

A TV and an Xbox was stolen in the raid, which involved between three and five men.

One of the men was seen fleeing the scene on foot along nearby Fairlands Way, while another headed to an underpass in Grace Way.

A large police presence were quickly on the scene, but so far the offenders have not been traced and investigations continue.

Anyone with information can call police on 101, quoting crime reference E1/16/102.
