Bungling burglars give up after trying to force way into a man’s home

Bungling burglars finally give up and go home after trying to force their way into a disabled man’s home and failing miserably

  • Four people try to break down door at home in North Shore area of Blackpool 
  • Man enters with face covered but woman only remembers to do it while in hall
  • Another woman rams inner door with shoulder while clutching a bottle of wine
  • CCTV shows all four people leave less than a minute later after trying to get in 

CCTV shows four people attempt to break in to a disabled man’s home but give up after one minute when they fail to kick down the door or cover their faces.

The group quickly rush inside the building in the North Shore area of Blackpool with the first man, who is wearing a covering on his face, heading straight to the inner door trying to pry it open.

His pals then follow suit with one of them having the afterthought to pull a balaclava over her face – but only once she’s been captured on video.

Another women in the gang clutches a wine bottle throughout the bungling attempt to break in and tries to ram the door with her shoulder.

She then kicks it several times, while still holding the bottle, and another one of the group also hits the door frame.

The four people were recorded on CCTV and a mirror positioned opposite the man’s front door revealed them trying to kick it down. 

After less than a minute of trying the four turn back around to the glass partition and clamber their way out over what appears to be a beaten down front door. 

They then turn right and walk away from the house, less than a minute after entering the home.

The clip of the attempted break in was filmed on Sunday January 27 and has had more than 1,600 views since it was shared on Facebook.

A spokesperson for Lancashire police said: ‘Two men and two women smashed through the door of a residential address into a communal area on January 27.

‘They then tried to gain access to a ground floor room but haven’t managed to get in. They then left the property through the front door, with one of the women smashing an outer pane of a double glazed window.

‘The victim is in his 50s and it is being treated as an attempted burglary/ criminal damage. Enquiries are on-going.’
