CAR-KEY burglars in Hagley were thwarted by frost.
Three people – in black or dark puffa jackets with hoods pulled up gained entry to the home in Milestone Drive by forcing the front door.
They managed to move two vehicles which were parked on the drive but, due to their inability to defrost them, fled the scene.
They headed off towards Meadow Croft after being disturbed by the home owner at 4.37am.
Witnesses or anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
