THURSDAY, September 13, 9.50pm: Four men in balaclavas, armed with shotguns, a pistol and a sword, smashed their way into a home in The Causeway, Stow Bridge, as a man in his 70s was watching television and his middle-aged son was asleep in bed. The older man was able to flee the house to raise the alarm but his son was left bloody and dazed after being hit around the head with a sawn-off shotgun. A steel safe containing a large amount of cash and jewellery was stolen.
SATURDAY, around 10.20pm: Five men in a car were seen acting suspiciously in New Road, North Runcton. A man in his late teens was confronted in his driveway by three masked men armed with shotguns and an iron bar as he was shutting the gates to the home. The gang began pushing him around, but fled empty handed when the victim's father activated a burglar alarm.
SUNDAY, 10.30pm: Children were present when shots were fired during a raid at an Upwell home. Householders discovered four masked men at the back of their home in Townshend Road, three of them were armed with shotguns and a metal bar.
