A woman was beaten and kidnapped in front of her young granddaughter when a masked gang forced their way into her home on Christmas Day.
The 69-year-old victim was watching tv with her eight-year-old granddaughter on December 25, 2019, when there was a knock at the door at Cleveland Close, Kirkby.
Sarah Howitt pretended to need help before two masked men, now known to be Gary Groves and Geoffrey Hayes, forced their way into the property and searched for valuable items.
