A man has been attacked in his Euxton home in broad daylight by balaclava-clad thieves
Officers were called at 8am on Wednesday to a report that three men wearing balaclavas and armed with a crowbar had broken into an address in Wigan Road and assaulted the occupant, a man in his 50s.
The offenders stole a quantity of cash and made off in vehicles. It is believed they have travelled along Euxton Lane towards the M61. An investigation is underway and enquiries are ongoing to identify the offenders, and police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.Det Sgt Justin Macmurray, of South CID, said: “This must have been a terrifying ordeal for the victim and he was lucky not to be more seriously hurt as these offenders were armed and clearly prepared to use violence.
“This happened on a main road at what was a busy time of day with people travelling to school or work and I would appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious or who has any dashcam or mobile phone footage which might assist to come forward. “I would also appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area in the days or weeks before yesterday to get in touch.”.
