- Stocky build
- Short ginger hair
The second man is described as:
- White
- Aged 20 to 30

PC Matthew Deery said: “Fortunately the couple disturbed the
offenders before they had the chance to take anything from the
property.
“I would ask members of the public to always be vigilant and
to make sure all windows, particularly ground floor windows, are closed and
locked when rooms are unattended.
“I am appealing to anyone who may have seen these men in the
area at the time of the incident to come forward.”
