Couple robbed at home

A TERRIFIED couple were tied up during an armed robbery at their home in Failsworth last Wednesday.

Their ordeal began when an intruder with a knife confronted a 52-year-old man who was watching television in his Lime Lane house.

A 51-year-old woman was then taken downstairs by another offender and the couple were tied up.

Three men stole a television, a PS3 with games and a Tom Tom satellite navigation system.

All of the intruders are described as black or of mixed race. They were all taller than 6ft and wore hooded tops — one with goggles sewn in.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Oldham CID on 0161-856 8951, or the Crimestoppers charity, anonymously, on 0800-555 111.
