Detectives are appealing for help to trace three burglars who stole gold jewellery in a raid on a house in Leicester.
The men, whose identities were masked by hoods and scarves, entered the property, in Kingston Road, Evington, on Friday, May 10, threatening its two occupants and assaulting one of them.
They stole a quantity of Asian gold jewellery, including necklaces and bracelets, and some imitation jewellery.
