At around 8pm on October 23 three masked men reportedly forced entry into a house in Moorland Close armed with a shotgun and machetes.

They then threatened the family and stole an amount of jewellery, including a gold chain and Vivienne Westwood watch.

They made off on foot down Southmoor Road and potentially into a vehicle. No one was injured.
