Appeal for information following aggravated burglary, Lincoln

As stated by Detective Senior Sergeant Jo Carolan:

Police investigating an aggravated burglary incident in Lincoln earlier this month are appealing to the public for information.

On Thursday 16 July, around 11.15pm, it is reported that a man has entered a home on Jacobsens Place, without permission. When confronted by one of the occupants, the man allegedly threatened the victim with a weapon before quickly fleeing the property on foot.

The victim was not injured, however they – and the other occupant of the home – were understandably very shaken by the incident.

Police conducted immediate area enquiries, with assistance from a Police dog, however no one was located. We are now asking for the public’s assistance.

The alleged offender is described as being a man in his mid-twenties to early-thirties – however could be outside this age-range, roughly 5’6″/170cm tall, of unknown ethnicity.

He was wearing a dark coloured hoodie, with the hood up, with a black face mask showing only his eyes.
