A MAN, aged 23, was woken by armed intruders who robbed him in his flat.

The man was asleep when the raiders got into his home on Laithe Hall Road in Cleckheaton and went into his bedroom.

The thieves, one with a hand gun and another with a knife, threatened the man, demanded money and searched his bedroom for cash.

The victim managed to get to his bedroom window and shouted for help. The robbers ran, taking cash with them. The victim was unhurt.

The thieves were seen making off towards the Spen Valley Greenway. All three thieves wore dark hooded tops and two of them wore balaclavas.

The raid happened at 4.45pm on January 31, but police have only just released details.

Anyone with any information can contact Det Con Peter Brooke at Dewsbury CID on 0845 6060606 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
