A woman was gagged by burglars who broke in her home and attacked her while she slept.
Three men forced their way into a house in Holmfield Road, Stoneygate, at about 11pm, on Saturday.
They smashed a window on a side door and entered the home.
The intruders then made their way into the bedroom of a 50-year-old woman who was sleeping while the men were in her house.
One of the burglars grabbed the woman and covered her mouth while the other two searched her bedroom snatching cash and jewellery.
Police said all three were wearing dark clothes.
DC Steve Kilsby, who is investigating the incident, said: "Although the victim wasn't hurt during the incident she has understandably been left quite shocked by what happened.
"We would like to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious activity around the Holmfield Road and New Way Road area on Saturday, August 2, if you saw any vehicles or any unusual activity we need to speak to you. Any calls received will be treated in confidence."
Call police on 101.
