POLICE have issued an appeal for help to track down the criminals who kicked down a front door in the middle of the night, then threatened their victim with a knife at a property on River View, Saltash on March 30.

One of the male suspects threatened a resident, a man in his 20s, with a knife while the other searched the property. 

A turquoise floral oval tin containing jewellery of a sentimental value was taken in the burglary. The men then fled the scene with the item.

They were white, between 5ft 9ins and 6ft 1in tall, with facial stubble, of average build. One suspect was wearing a beige scarf, blue jeans and black trainers.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have seen anybody running away from the area at that time. Email [email protected] or call 101, quoting CR/020147/16. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
