A 37-year-old man remains in a serious condition in hospital following an aggravated burglary in East Sussex.
Police say a man was attacked at a house in Ringmer on Saturday 2nd October at 11.20pm.
The victim suffered a head injury after being hit over the head by a man armed with a hammer who had entered the address in Mill Mead with two other men.
The suspects demanded money but ran out of the house after being disturbed by two other occupants.
Two motorbikes, a white Husqvarna and a green Kawasaki were stolen from a garage at the property.
Officers continue to investigate.
Detective Inspector Alex Campbell said:
“This was a traumatic experience for the victim and occupants but we believe this was an isolated incident. We are keen to hear from any witnesses or from anyone who has any information about the incident or has seen the stolen motorbikes or been offered them for sale.”
