Detectives investigating an aggravated burglary in Blacon are appealing for information from members of the public.

At 10.25pm on Thursday 15 July three men entered a house on Canterbury Road and assaulted the occupant inside.

He sustained significant injuries to his head and was treated at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

An investigation is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Detective Constable Beth Higginson, of Chester CID, said: “A number of enquiries have been undertaken and as part of the investigation I am seeking further information which the public may be able to provide.

“At this stage it is unclear whether the mem were on foot or in a vehicle and what direction they travelled in when they left the scene.

“I am asking residents who live in the area and have dash cam or CCTV to check their footage to see if there is anything that could assist with the investigation and to let us know.”

“I would also encourage anyone who thinks they saw anything suspicious prior to and after the incident to come forward.”
