TWO men kicked in the front door of a house and threatened the resident with a knife before making off with jewellery.
Police have just revealed details of the vicious incident which happened at the end of March at a property on River View, Saltash.
After kicking in the door at around 1.45am, one of the robbers threatened the resident – a man in his 20s – with a knife while the other searched the property.
They snatched a turquoise floral oval tin the victim told police contained jewellery which held sentimental value.
Nothing else was taken during the raid and the men immediately fled the scene.
They were described as white, between 5ft 9ins and 6ft 1ins, with facial stubble, of average build. One suspect was wearing a beige scarf, blue jeans and black trainers.
Det Sgt Tim Wright of Liskeard CID said: "We would be keen to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area of river View which would help our ongoing investigation.
