Man and teenager threatened in Hadley burglary
Police in Telford are investigating an aggravated burglary that occurred in Hadley late yesterday afternoon.
Two men aged 40 and 17, were inside a property on Crescent Road when three unknown men entered the house and forced them to the floor just before 6pm yesterday.
The intruders said they had a gun and demanded money from the two victims but were told they did not have any. The intruders then grabbed an Apple iPhone 4 and a Blackberry mobile phone before fleeing the property.
On leaving the property the men made their way towards Manse Road where it is thought they were then picked up by a small black or dark coloured car – possibly a Ford Puma or a Vauxhall Tigra.
A police spokesman said:
“Although the victims did not see a gun or weapon of any sort, understandably they have been left very shaken by the incident.
“All three men that carried out this burglary are described as being in their mid 20s to early 30s, while one is described as appearing to be of mixed race and around 6ft 2inches tall.
“The other two intruders are both described as being black, with one being around 6ft 2inches tall and the other as being 5ft 7 inches tall with a stocky build.
“Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have information about this incident, especially anyone who may have seen the small black car anywhere in the Hadley area between 5.15pm and 6.30pm last night.
“Anyone with possible information about this incident is asked to contact officers in Telford on 101, quoting incident number 130N 260613.
“Alternatively, please remember information can also be left anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Police officers do not believe this incident is connected to an incident that occurred on Sandbrook in Ketley late on Tuesday night.
