Burglars who raided two houses in Northampton stealing replica handguns and an air rifle are being hunted by police.
Detectives are linking a burglary and an attempted burglary, which both took place between 1.30pm and 2.15pm on Monday.
During the first incident, which happened at a home in Kingsland Avenue, an unknown person forced the rear patio doors open with an unknown implement. They then conducted an untidy search and stole cash, replica/imitation handguns and an airgun.
One of the replica guns was a Desert Eagle replica and the book printing word Webley was stamped on the side. It was black with a wooden panel on the handle.
The second replica was a black Glock replica handgun, which was taken in its black plastic box with no markings.

During the same time period there was an attempted burglary at a home in Nursery Lane. On this occasion an unknown offender bent back a metal gate which was placed over the top of the back door on the property.
