The resident of the room in question was not at home at the time of the burglary. Among the stolen items were a wallet and a phone.
Other residents of the home did however see the men break in, and one staff member was even assaulted by the intruders after trying to confront them.
Police were alerted to the incident and an investigation has been opened since. The thieves were reportedly seen fleeing the scene of the crime in the direction of the local roundabout.
Authorities have put out the following suspect description: both men are aged 20 to 25, of southern descent, and about 170 centimetres tall. One of them was heavyset, had a three-day beard, and wore grey trousers and black shoes. The other was slim, also had a three-day beard, and wore blue trousers and black shoes.
