  2. Couple tied up by burglars in their home

    A couple were tied up by four men who they disturbed burgling their home.

    They returned to their house in Buckswood Drive at around 20:00 GMT yesterday and found that a patio door had been smashed.

    As they went inside, the men grabbed them.

    They were forced to open a safe and the men removed jewellery, watches and a quantity of cash. They were then tied up in a bathroom, but managed to escape after the men had left.

    The men were wearing masks and gloves. 

    The couple were not injured.
