MASKED robbers broke into a frightened Kilsby woman’s house and demanded money.
Two men in balaclavas forced their way into the Willoughby Road house at around 6.45pm on Tuesday (March 10), and fled with what police described as a ‘substantial amount of cash’.
Detective Inspector Philip Mills, who is leading the investigation, said: “Incidents like this are fortunately very rare, but this was a nasty robbery which has obviously left the victim very shaken.
“I would urge anyone who knows anything about this incident to contact us as soon as possible.”
The two men are believed to be aged between 20 and 40 and may have been eastern European.
One was between 5ft 6in and 5ft 7in while the other was between 5ft 9in and 5ft 10in.
