Detectives have released CCTV images of two males they want to speak to in connection with an attempted burglary in Runcorn.
The incident occurred in Heath Road South at around 4.40pm on Wednesday 11 March.
After breaking into a house, the offenders fled empty handed after being disturbed by an occupier.
Enquiries in relation to the incident are ongoing.
As part of their investigation detectives want to speak to the two males in the CCTV images.
They are appealing for anyone who recognises the males to get in touch.
