A BURGLAR who locked a homeowner out of their own house during a raid is wanted by police.

The man knocked on the door of a property on Shelley Close, Bromsgrove, and told the victim someone was in their garden.

The homeowner was locked in their garden when they went to look, although a relative coming downstairs disturbed the raid before anything was stolen.

Anyone with information on the incident between 5.50pm and 5.55pm on Wednesday, November 30, is asked to call police on 101 quoting reference number 0568s.
