Two masked men stormed a home and threatened two women during an aggravated burglary in Ashford.

One of the victims, in her 30s, opened the door of her Repton Manor Road home to the suspects who then forced their way into the property but later left empty handed.

The men, who were wearing balaclavas, threatened both occupants in the house and demanded money.

The victims then managed to escape from the property and call for help.

The suspects then fled from the scene on foot, in the direction of Templar Way.

There were no reported injuries in the incident, which occurred at around 8pm on Thursday February 27, and nothing was reported stolen.

PC Matthew Johnston said: ‘We continue to investigate a number of lines of enquiry but believe there may be people who witnessed the incident who we have not yet spoken to.

"We are also interested in any drivers who may have dashcam footage from the area of Repton Manor Road and Templar Way between 7pm and 8.30pm."

Witnesses or anyone with information should call 01843 222289 quoting reference 46/37487/19.
