TWO men attempted to break into a property in Preston Candover on Monday night but were disturbed and fled the scene.

Police are appealing for information following reports of an attempted burglary in Alresford Road on August 30.

At 11.04pm, police were called to reports of two men in a silver Honda CR-V trying to gain access to a part of the property.
