Robbers break terrified mum's wrist

THREE masked men are being hunted by police after a terrified mum of four had her wrist broken in a violent burglary at her home.

Police have issued an appeal for information after the gang broke into the house where the 30-year-old lives with her children, on Camden Grove, Maltby, and demanded cash at around 12.30am on Sunday morning.

The men shouted threats before one of them broke the woman's wrist.

They fled the address taking with them the victim’s purse, which contained a small amount of cash.

The children were inside the property at the time, but were not harmed.

Det Sgt Nikki Shimwell said: “This is a very nasty and violent break-in, with three men terrifying and injuring a mother while her four young children were in the house.

“The offenders were wearing dark clothing and their faces were covered with scarves.
