TWO robbers threatened their victim with knives when they broke into his Crosland Moor home.

The 39-year-old man was sitting in the lounge of his Ellison Street home at 2.15pm on Sunday when the two men kicked down the door.

They threatened him with a knife and slashed his hand and stole his wallet before making off.

The second man was Asian, 5ft 8in to 5ft 10in and wearing a grey/light blue hooded top, grey jogging bottoms and had an object, possibly a knife, in his hand.
