Man attacked by knife men in his own home

A 53-year-old Warrington man was threatened with a knife by two men who knocked on his door in the early hours of the morning.

The pair then stole tools, a television, Queen’s Jubilee coins and the keys to a car before making off.

Police today issued an appeal for information about the aggravated burglary at a house in Watkin Street, Warrington at 1.30am on Saturday, September 24.

The victim answered a knock on his door and was confronted by the two offenders who forced him back into the house and threatened him with a knife.

They then stole a number of items including a Ryobi hammer drill, a Stanley toolbox and a 40 inch Polaroid TV. They also stole a number of Queens Jubilee Coins and the keys to a yellow Nissan Juke. The vehicle was located in Hale Street in Warrington.

Both men were about 5ft 10 inches tall. One was slim, with a gaunt face, dark eyebrows and small dot on his cheek, under his left eye, which looked like a tattoo. He was wearing a dark hooded top with the hood up, blue jeans and dark trainers. He was also wearing cotton gloves with plastic on the fingers. He had a local accent.
The second man had dark hair with a fringe. He was wearing a dark hooded top with the hood up, a dark scarf up to the bridge of his nose, blue jeans, dark trainers and gloves. He also spoke with a local accent.
