A house in Marlow was the scene of an attempted burglary.
Between 10.15pm and 10.20pm on September 23, an effort was made to enter a property in Dean Street.
It was reported that a resident heard the front door being opened before immediately closing, despite her having previously locked it.
Entry was not gained, but oil and red-coloured liquid had been left on the front door.
No items were taken.
Investigating officer, PC Andrew Cummins, of High Wycombe police station, said: “I am appealing for witnesses to this incident of attempted burglary in Marlow.
“Thankfully entry was not gained on this occasion, however, I am appealing to anyone that can help with my investigation to get in touch.
