Detectives investigating a high-value burglary they describe as ‘violent’ have appealed for potential witnesses to come forward.
Jewellery and cash were stolen after three suspects forced entry to a property in Loughborough Road, Ruddington, at 10.20pm on Tuesday.
Once inside the men threatened the occupants with violence before making their escape.
Officers are pursuing several lines of inquiry and would like to speak with anybody who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area – either on Tuesday evening or over the last few days and weeks.
Detective Sergeant Andrea Brown, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This was an extremely distressing experience for the victims, who were threatened and with violence in their own home.
“We believe this was the work of experienced criminals who will have scouted this location in the past.
“For that reason, we would like to hear not only from potential witnesses to the crime itself, but also from anybody who has seen or heard anything suspicious in this area over the last few days and weeks.
“That includes vehicles coming and going at unusual times and people who may appear out of place.
“Even the smallest piece of information may make all the difference in this investigation so please do not be shy about calling in.”
As the investigation continues, officers are carrying out additional reassurance patrols in the area.
Information can be passed by calling 101 quoting incident 798 of 10 November 2026, or by contacting Crimestoppers.
