Police are hunting an armed masked gang who carried out a terrifying house raid in Doncaster.

Officers have issued CCTV images of the raiders who filled a pillow case with stolen items before fleeing.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We are appealing for information following reports of an aggravated burglary in Doncaster.

“It is reported that at around 7.20pm on Thursday 26 March a property was burgled on Melton Road in Sprotbrough.

“It is alleged that a group of men, one of whom is believed to have been in possession of a weapon, forced entry to the property and filled a pillow case with goods before leaving the scene.

“Officers have carried out extensive enquiries including forensic work and examination of CCCTV but are yet to identify those responsible.

“We are now releasing CCTV stills of four men who we would like to speak to in connection with this incident. They may have information that can help our enquiries.

“The men are described as white, and three of them are around 5ft 11ins tall. The fourth man is shorter and of a larger build than the others.

“We understand that the quality of these images is far from the best, but we are hoping that someone may recognise these men from their clothing.

“If you recognise any of these men, or have any other information regarding this incident, please get in touch.

“Even if you think that the information you have may be insignificant, it could be vital to our investigation.”
