A mother and her two children were threatened at knifepoint when burglars raided their Gorleston home.

It happened on Sunday, January 8 at between 9pm and 9.20pm when three men broke into a house in Middleton Road.

One man threatened the family with a blunt knife and stole cash from a wooden money box in the premises as well as an iPhone and a Nokia mobile phone. The iPhone was later recovered.

The woman in her 50s and her two grown up children, were shaken but unhurt.
