Residents threatened with a screwdriver and a knife in Sutton Bridge raid

Raiders smashed in the back door of a Sutton Bridge home and threatened residents with a knife in a 'terrifying' attack.

Police are now appealing for witnesses to the incident, which took place in New Road at about 6.38pm on Tuesday night.

A police spokesman said: "No one was injured but this would have clearly been a terrifying ordeal. The offenders left with a number of items of jewellery.

"Were you driving along New Road on the night in question? We are specifically asking for people who were in the area between 6.15pm and 6.45 pm.

"If you saw anything suspicious, or you may have captured footage on your dash cam, we urge you to get in touch. We believe there were four offenders who left the scene in a black hatchback."
