Four men reportedly forced their way into the premises on Cemetery Road in Hatfield, Doncaster, last Wednesday, October 9, at around 2pm.

The occupants were out at the time and the alarm was activated.

As the burglars left the building, they threatened a man walking past, and they are then believed to have left the scene in a silver Ford Fiesta.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting incident number 436 of October 9.
