A man has had cleaning products poured over him during an aggravated burglary in Camberley.

On Friday 5th of January at around 8pm the victim returned to his home to find four men hiding in the bushes by his house.

They forced their way into his home and made him open a safe and emptied the contents.

They then removed the contents, poured cleaning products on the victim and around his house to try and cover their tracks, and made off on foot.

The suspects are described as four men, each around six foot tall. They were all dressed in black and wearing face masks. One person carried a rod or crowbar that may have been used to assault the victim.

The victim, a former pilot, kept a lot of sentimental objects in this safe dating back throughout his career.

Among the items taken were:

A wooden box containing a bottle of Glenfiddich whisky, which could only be bought on board a Concorde aircraft. The bottle is from 1976, and it was to commemorate the first commercial Concorde flight.

Two Chopard watches with black leather straps, one in white gold and one in yellow gold.

A gold charm bracelet containing approximately 20 charms, including a Concorde aircraft and a rotating globe.

Two Breitling watches with metal straps (pictured). Both have similar detailing on the back to the engraving pictured.

Foreign currency in euros, pesos, and US dollars.
