A gang of armed raiders smashed in to a flat before demanding cash and gold from the terrified occupants.

The group of around eight men threatened the occupants with knives and machetes before escaping with “a quantity of items”, the Met Police said.

Detectives are now hunting eight men caught on CCTV in the hallway of the flat before the aggravated burglary, in Whitechapel, east London.

Acting Detective Sergeant Justin Franklin said: “This was a terrifying attack on a family asleep in their home.

“The perpetrators were violent and need to be caught as soon as possible.

“If you have information, we need to hear from you.”

“The suspects, believed to be up to eight males, grabbed the occupants and threatened them with weapons, including knife and machetes, before making off with a quantity of items.

“No arrests have been made.

“Enquiries, which include forensic analysis and detailed examination of CCTV footage, continue.”
