A Bar­rack­pore fam­i­ly was beat­en and valu­ables worth more than $120,000 stolen dur­ing a home in­va­sion on Sun­day night. 

Po­lice said three gun­men at­tacked the fam­i­ly of three around 11 pm at their Pierre Trace, Up­per Bar­rack­pore home.

Two of the vic­tims, a 55-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman had just re­turned home.  The oth­er vic­tim, a 33-year-old woman, was in­side the house. 

As the old­er woman was at­tempt­ing to close the front gate, three masked sus­pects ap­proached and pushed her to the ground. They then forced the cou­ple in­to the house. The man was beat­en on the head with a gun.

Once in­side, the sus­pects ran­sacked the premis­es and robbed the fam­i­ly of valu­ables es­ti­mat­ed at more than $120,000, in­clud­ing jew­ellery, two cell phones and per­son­al doc­u­ments.

Af­ter the rob­bery, the sus­pects left in a sil­ver Toy­ota Aqua.

Po­lice Con­sta­bles Rawl­ins and Seecha­ran re­spond­ed prompt­ly and con­duct­ed area checks for the sus­pects and the ve­hi­cle they were in, which proved un­suc­cess­ful.

A can­vass of the neigh­bour­hood for CCTV footage al­so came up emp­ty, though po­lice stat­ed that “use­ful in­for­ma­tion” was ob­tained through in­ter­views with res­i­dents. 

Of­fi­cers from the Bar­rack­pore Po­lice Sta­tion are in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
