A MAN fled a High Wycombe home empty handed after a bungled burglary attempt.

A man threw a brick at the back window of the property in Micklefield Road at about 4.30pm on Tuesday but he ran off when the glass did not break and he was disturbed, police said.

The man is described as black, 5ft 10ins tall and in his mid twenties to early thirties. He also had a round, clean shaven face, officers said.

Police added that he was wearing a dark heavy jacket with a ridged collar and a dark beanie hat with a stripe running along the middle of it.

Contact police on the 101 enquiry line or the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111 with any information.
