POLICE are investigating a break-in at an isolated house in Seend where it is believed an elderly woman was tied up by masked raiders.

Officers received an emergency call at 11.30pm last night and arrived to find an untidy search of the property had been conducted.

It is not clear what, if anything, has been stolen.

A forensic crime scene investigation team concluded their work at the scene of the suspected break-in around midday today.

Wiltshire Police confirmed their investigation is ongoing and have appealed for witnesses who may have seen or heard anything unusual to call 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
