Detective Inspector Mark Stamper from North Yorkshire Police said: “This is a concerning incident and a full investigation is underway.
“We have conducted house to house enquiries close to where the incident happened and are working hard to try and identify the suspects.
“I would urge people in the local area to review any CCTV or ring doorbell footage and come forward with any information which may help with our investigation.”
