Masked gang raid Bradford home

One of the men is believed to have been carrying a gun when they knocked on the door of a house in Upper Rushton Road at around 8.30pm on Saturday.

A woman aged in her 40s opened the door and the men, who were all wearing face coverings, forced their way inside and demanded gold and jewellery.　

After taking a quantity of jewellery, money and electrical items they then left, driving off in a blue Audi A3 which belonged to one of the occupants of the property.　

The woman was unhurt and the vehicle was recovered later that evening in Highthorne Avenue. 　

Detective Inspector Matt Walker, of Bradford District CID, said: “We would like to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area at around the time stated or anyone who saw the car being abandoned later that evening.　

“Our enquiries also suggest a man wearing a sleeveless fluorescent jacket was seen close by at the time and we would be keen to speak to this man, as we believe he may have more information.”　

One of the men is described as black, 6ft, slim and wearing a black hooded top, black pants and trainers.　

Another is described as Asian and 5ft 10ins, wearing a grey hooded top, black trousers and trainers. 　

The third suspect is also described as Asian and 5ft 10ins, wearing a Gucci belt with a gold coloured ‘G’ buckle with green and black fabric.　

He was also wearing black trousers which he kept pulling up, and black trainers. 　

Anyone who can assist the investigation is asked to contact DC 4329 Murphy at Bradford District CID via 101, quoting crime reference 13170021270.
