WOULD-BE burglars fled empty-handed from two Sale burglaries yesterday after being scared off by neighbours.

Intruders tried to break into a house in Arnesby Avenue on Tuesday January 24. They attempted to get into the house through a side door but fled after being disturbed by neighbours.

Less than a mile away, in Poolcroft, intruders smashed a back window of a house but fled before they could get inside after being disturbed by neighbours.

Anyone with information about these incidents should contact the police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111.
