Wiltshire Police are seeking witnesses after a man was assaulted by five individuals wearing masks during an aggravated burglary at his residence in Northcroft Road, Corsham. The incident occurred in the early hours of April 20, with the victim being physically assaulted before having his car keys and personal belongings stolen.
The victim managed to flee before the perpetrators departed in his stolen black Mercedes, potentially using a nearby parked dark vehicle, possibly a Qashqai, for their escape. The abandoned stolen vehicle was subsequently discovered in Chippenham.
Authorities believe the burglary was a targeted attack and have initiated thorough house-to-house and CCTV investigations. Anyone with relevant information is urged to reach out to Wiltshire Police at 101, citing reference number 54250047837, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.
