Woman with baby threatened during house robbery in Telford

The incident occurred at an address on Parkdale in Hadley sometime between 1.30pm and 2.10pm yesterday.

The 27-year-old woman – was in an upstairs bedroom feeding her four-month-old baby when she heard her front door being forced open.

She left the bedroom and saw three unknown men in her house, one of whom then made his way upstairs to her.

After a brief conversation the man made threats against the woman and waved a screwdriver he was carrying at her.

He told the victim to sit back on the bed in the bedroom and that if she did this all would be fine.

A police spokesman said:

“It appears that while one of the offenders was with the victim, the other two carried out a thorough search of the house.

“It is thought the men were in the house for around 20 minutes before all three then made their escape back out through the front door and fled the scene.

“As soon as the men left the scene the police were called and the victim then checked her property to see what was missing. It appears that a significant amount of gold jewellery and five gold watches were stolen by the thieves and the total value of these items could be as much as £20,000.

“Although extremely shaken by this incident, the victim has been able to describe the offender that she spoke to.

“He is described as being white, around 20-years-old, approximately 5ft 5inches tall with a slim build and as wearing black jeans, a black jumper and a black cap.

“Anyone who believes they may have information about this incident, or who believes they may know the identity of any of the offenders, is asked to call 101, quoting incident number 311S 050214.

“Alternatively people can pass on information anonymously by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
