AN intruder targeted a mattress after smashing his way into a home.

Between 7am and 10pm, a house in Weir Road, Hook, was broken into by a thief who threw a plant pot through a rear window.

The offender searched a duvet and mattress in a bedroom, but nothing else was touched and nothing was taken.

The incident took place on December 4.

PC Daniel Simpson, from the Yateley Targeted Patrol Team, said: “Someone has broken into this address looking for something specific.

“The homeowner has never stored anything under his bed so does not know why he was targeted in this way.

“If anyone has any information about this incident then please can they contact me in confidence.”

Anyone with any information should contact PC Simpson at Yateley Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Callers from outside Hampshire should call 0845 045 45 45.
