Police have released the images of three youths they want to speak to in connection with an attempted burglary in Bury and Rochdale.

At about 3pm on Thursday 29 August 2013, three teenagers approached the side of a house on Hornby Street and attempted to force the side door open with a screwdriver.

The three would be thieves were disturbed by a neighbour and ran off in the direction of Argyle Street.

At about 12.30pm on 1 September 2013, the three youths attempted to force open the door of a house on Turf Hill Road, Rochdale, using a screwdriver.

They failed to get into the house and left.

All three boys are described as white and aged about 16. The first has dark hair and the second has mousy brown hair.

DC Danny Whitaker from Bury division, said: “The apparent youthfulness of all three boys is of course concerning but we believe they are responsible for two attempted burglaries and we need to find out who they are.

“Someone, be it a teacher, friend, family member or neighbour will know them and we are appealing for help to identify them.

“I would urge members of the public to take a close look at the photographs, which are of very good quality, and if you recognise any of the boys please call us.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 8181 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
