Three burglars smashed a house window but fled before making off with anything.

The trio were spotted in a back garden in Old Dover Road, Canterbury on Thursday.

Startled after seeing someone, the male suspects, who are thought to be in their teens or early 20s, ran away in the direction of Puckle Lane.

One was wearing a blue scarf covering some of his face.

The attempted burglary happened at about 12.40pm.
