‘Men wearing white gloves’ tried to break into Mapperley home

Police have released CCTV pictures of men they want to speak with after an attempted break-in at a Nottingham home. Officers were called to an address in Sherwood Vale, Mapperley, at around 6pm on Wednesday (July 6) after suspected intruders were disturbed.

Video from the scene shows a single man approaching the property and knock on the door, reports Nottinghamshire Police. He is joined shortly afterwards by three other men – all wearing gloves – who allegedly passed through a side gate to the back of the property.

The footage continues with the men reportedly hurriedly leaving the scene after they were disturbed by the homeowners. Detectives investigating what happened believe that somebody should recognise the men.
