A HOUSE on Marlton Way, Haverbreaks was burgled between 3pm and 5pm on Sunday.

A description has been issued of a man seen acting suspiciously in the area. He is white, 14 to 16 years old, wearing a white/light blue T-shirt and black trousers.

He appeared to be trying to hide his face as he walked down a path at the back of Malton Way.
