FOUR men have been spotted snooping around homes and gardens in Lower Broadheath.

A resident of Broadheath Common saw the men in their back garden near a garage at around 1am on Monday, November 23.

The witness could see the men via a security light in the back garden but could not describe them because of poor visibility.

After hearing a bang on the window, the men ran off through a side gate on to Lightwood Lane and then into Crown East Lane to a waiting vehicle.

CCTV at a neighbouring home captured grainy images of the same men at around 12.35am.

They were seen on the front driveway of a third house on Broadheath Common before they entered the driveway of the home with the camera.

One of the men, who was of medium build and height and wearing a bobble hat, and possibly a scarf around his face, is seen approaching the rear patio doors and momentarily looking in, before leaving via an unlocked gate at the side of the house.

Anyone who saw any people or vehicles behaving suspiciously in the area is asked to call police on 101.
