Main article content
We are appealing for information after a woman was threatened with a machete by three men.
The incident took place on Monday (7 March) in Burr Street, Dunstable. At approximately 12.30pm, three men arrived at her address in a black Vauxhall Vectra and threatened to hurt her with a large machete if she did not let them in.
The victim hid inside a cupboard whilst the men entered the flat.
The suspects are described as, one black man around 5’4”, one Asian man around 5’11” and another man around 6 foot tall with long dreadlocks.
PC Stuart King, investigating, said: “We are keen to review any personal CCTV footage leading into the area and speak to witnesses who may have been in the vicinity at the time to help identify the offenders.
“This was an unacceptable incident on a woman in her own home. We need people’s help to get dangerous individuals like this who pose a serious threat off the streets.”
