Police said the group broke in through an unlocked window.

One was described as Asian, aged 21 to 23, 5ft 7in to 5ft 8in, slim, with collar-length hair.

A second was also Asian, aged 26 or 27, just over 6ft, stocky with slight stubble.

The third was white, aged around 38, 5ft 11in and stocky.

Anyone with information should call the burglary squad at Southampton Central CID on 0845 045 4545.
