THE victims of an aggravated burglary last night in Colchester say they were threatened with a taser baton.

Four white men entered the address in St Peter's Street shortly after 11pm on Friday (May 25), wearing grey and black hooded tops.

The two occupants were threatened with the weapon, but fortunately not harmed.

However, the suspects stole money, mobile phones and other electronic devices before driving off.

The men were described to police as being between 20 and 45-years-old.

Police are now appealing for witnesses or anyone who saw any suspicious behaviour in the area around the time of the incident.

DI Gary Biddle at Clacton CID can be contacted on 101, and people are asked to quote incident number 1536.

Information can also be shared anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online here.
