A WOMAN in her 90s and two girls were threatened in their home during a 'distressing' burglary.
Three men burst into the home in School View in Banbury on Thursday last week at about 6.10pm.
They threatened the victims - the elderly woman plus two girls aged 17 and 12 - with a metal pole and demanded valuable items.
The trio then scoured rooms upstairs before leaving empty-handed.
No-one was injured during the aggravated burglary.
Investigating officer, detective constable Sam Bonner of Banbury Force CID, said: "This was obviously a very distressing incident for the victims, and I am appealing for anyone who has any information which could help our investigation to please get in touch."
Anyone with information can call 101 quoting reference number '43170273680', or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
