Three masked men demand keys to Northamptonshire pub during burglary

The break-in happened in Pitsford Road in Chapel Brampton on Monday, January 7, between 7.40am and 9am, when three men, all wearing balaclavas, entered the property and demanded keys to the nearby pub.

The occupants managed to raise the alarm and the men left the property empty handed.

They were seen climbing over a fence before running across a field and getting into a black 2008 Volkswagen Polo.

A spokeswoman for Northamptonshire Police said: "The man who spoke is described as having a foreign accent, possibly Romanian.

"He was about 5ft 11in (180cm), with a heavy build, and was wearing a black Puffa-style jacket, black jogging bottoms with a SikSilk logo, black heavy duty shoes and black gloves.

"The second man is described as about 5ft 9in (175cm), with a heavy build, and wearing a blue Puffa-style jacket, grey jogging bottoms, black heavy duty shoes and black gloves.

"The third man was also about 5ft 9in (175cm) with a heavy build, and wearing a dark-coloured Puffa-style jacket and black gloves."
