The masked intruders then force the family members, aged between 12 and 70, into a side room.

Following a preliminary investigation, district police spokesperson Azizan Tukiman said that the gang was comprised of six members in total.

They reportedly robbed the home at 9.41pm on 23rd July and “tied up seven victims in a room downstairs”.

According to Tukiman, a woman was taken upstairs and ordered to hand over her jewellery and valuable items.

In total, the gang reportedly robbed items valued at over 7,965 GBP.

Tukiman said: “No one was hurt in the robbery. The victims managed to free themselves and asked a neighbour for help once the suspects left the scene.

“We dusted the house for prints, but could not find any as the suspects were wearing gloves.”

According to reports, the police have not yet managed to identify any suspects and they are appealing for members of the public to come forwards with any information.
