Burnham-On-Sea Police are appealing for witnesses to a burglary on the outskirts of the town on Monday night, February 27th.
It happened at 9pm when two men came to the front door of a bungalow in East Brent.
They knocked on the door several times with force until the glass smashed.
As the victim was trying to prevent the offenders getting in, it is believed a bedroom window was forced open and an untidy search was made, but nothing was stolen.
The offenders are both believed to be in their 20s and were wearing baseball caps.
The elderly resident was not injured, but was left extremely shaken by the incident.
Police are appealing for anyone who has any information about the incident to call police in Burnham on 0845 4567000.
