A GROUP of men wielding screwdrivers entered a Hartford house yesterday, Thursday, and stole cash after threatening the terrified occupants.
Wearing dark clothing and with their faces covered, between four and six men entered the Whitehall Drive home while two people were inside.
They made demands for the occupants to hand over property before searching the house, leaving on foot around 6.30pm onto Whitehall Drive.
Northwich detectives are appealing for witnesses and information.
DC Steve Hill, of Northwich CID, said: “These men terrified two innocent people in their own home and we’re doing everything we can to find those responsible.
“I’d urge the local community to come forward with any information which will help with our investigation – no matter how small.
"If you were in the Whitehall Drive area between 6pm and 7pm and saw a large group of men either on foot or in a car, get in touch by calling 101.
"I’d also appeal to drivers with dashcam footage to make contact with officers.”
One of the men is described as white, about 6ft in height, aged in his mid to late 20s, of a heavy build with a Liverpool accent.
He was wearing a tight black and grey balaclava, a navy blue nylon jacket, dark grey Puma jogging bottoms with a grey stripe down the side and black trainers.
Another man is described as white, around 5ft 10 in height, of an average build and aged in his early 20s. His face was covered by a blue snood and he was wearing a maroon coloured hooded top.
Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or online here quoting IML 268054.
