A MAN suffered serious head injuries after being attacked in his Bovey Tracey home by burglars.

The 31-year-old victim needed hospital treatment after the assault by two men at the man’s home at the bottom end of Fore Street.

The pair escaped with a TV and mobile phones after leaving the victim badly beaten.

Details of the late-night attack on August 28 – a Sunday - were only released by police today.

The incident, which police have called a ‘violent assault,’ happened between 10.30pm and 11pm.

Officers say the attackers, dressed in black, fled along Fore Street - possibly to a waiting car.

Other items were also taken in the break-in.

Detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area at the time, or who may have any information about the identity of the suspects.

They should call 101 quoting crime reference CR/060512/16.
