Two men who tried to break into a bungalow in Crawley were captured on CCTV and have been linked to a spate of recent burglaries in north Sussex.
The men targeted the property in Rackham Close while the owner was out between 14:00 and 16:45 GMT on Thursday 17 November.
One of the men is of Asian appearance, about 5' 6", slim with short black hair. He was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans that are possible ripped or patched at the knees, white trainers and black gloves.
The second man is white, wearing all black clothing, including gloves and boots and had a black rucksack on his back.

A Sussex police officer is sacked for advertising himself as a male prostitute while off sick from work.
Read MoreA police officer has been sacked from Sussex Police after he was found to be advertising himself for sexual services for payment on an adult website while being off sick from work.
PC Daniel Moss, 39, based at Hastings, was investigated from 2 December and was immediately suspended from duty.
Since reporting sick in early September he had advertised himself as a male prostitute and offered services to perform sexual acts for payment.
At a public gross misconduct hearing held at Sussex Police headquarters today, it was found that he had behaved in a manner that had discredited the police service or undermined public confidence. He did not attend the hearing.
Quote MessagePolice officers must behave in a manner that does not discredit the police service or undermine public confidence, whether on or off duty."
Quote MessageEx-PC Moss, who was on long-term sick leave, ostensibly for a stress-related illness, was still able to offer himself as being available to perform sexual services for payment, which is clearly completely out of keeping with his role that others uphold with pride, integrity and with the trust of the public whom they serve."
