Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses after an alleged burglary in Keynsham.

The force says the incident left a man in a critical but stable condition in hospital.

He told officers that he opened his door to two men at about 1.30am on Sunday 3 November.

They allegedly barged inside and assaulted him, before leaving with property including alcohol and mobile phones.

The ambulance service called police to the address in Tenby Road, Keynsham, at about 3am on Sunday.

The man’s condition worsened after he was admitted to hospital.

His next of kin are aware.

Detective Sergeant Nina Wilson said: “We’ve carried out a number of fast-track enquiries and now need help from the community to find those responsible.

"I’d like to reassure people that there is no evidence to suggest any wider risk to the public. If you have any information, dashcam or other footage which could help the investigation, we want to hear from you.”
