A Crawley shopkeeper and his wife were attacked and robbed as they returned home from work last Tuesday.  

The man was confronted by intruders at their home in Commonwealth Drive in Crawley at 11 pm on 11th December. He suffered serious injuries, including several broken ribs which required hospital treatment.  His wife was also assaulted and threats were made demanding money. Jewellery, cash and passports were stolen after the burglars ransacked the couple’s home.

There were six or seven men, described as black, wearing joggers, trainers and hooded jackets.
