Armed robbers threatened teenagers with knives and a hammer in a “frightening” house raid in Cholsey.

Six victims, aged between 14 and 17, were robbed of mobile phones and cash on Tuesday evening.

Three men forced their way into the house, in Rothwells Close, at about 11.30pm.

Police are now appealing for witnesses.

Investigating officer Dc Arran Cliff said police believed the attackers left in a blue vehicle.

He said: “This was a frightening ordeal for the victims, but they were not harmed. I would like to reassure the community we are treating this as an isolated incident.”

Witnesses should call police on 101 or the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555111.
