Thames Valley Police is re-appealing for specific witnesses following an aggravated burglary in Earley, which left a man with a broken arm.

The late-night heist took place between 11.30pm on Wednesday, January 26, and 12.30am on Thursday, January 27, at a home in Wokingham Road, which straddles the Reading and Wokingham border.

The victims, a man and woman both in their 60s, were alerted to four men entering their home armed with crowbars.

The offenders took mobile phones from the victims before searching the property.

The man sustained a broken arm and cuts to his head and lips.

He was treated at Royal Berkshire Hospital for his injuries and has since been discharged.
