Police are appealing for witnesses following an attempted burglary at a property in Huddersfield.　

Officers were called out on Monday, 22 May, to New Hey Road in Salendine Nook, after an elderly victim was approached by two men, between 2 and 3pm.　

The two suspects approached the property and asked the victim to accompany them outside the house to show him where they were completing work in an adjoining field.　

One of the suspects stayed with the victim, a man in his 90s, while the second returned to the property and carried out a search of the upstairs of the house. 　

Following a conversation with one of the suspects, the victim returned to the house and disturbed the second suspect inside. Both men then made off on foot in the direction of Huddersfield. 　

No items are believed to have been taken.　

The first suspect is described as white, of stocky build, with thinning blonde hair and in his late 50s. He spoke with a local accent and walked with a slight limp. He was wearing black cargo trousers and a black jacket.
