THREE masked men forced their way into a pensioner’s home, threatened her and stole her car on Saturday night.

The trio broke into the 65-year-old’s house in Dark Lane, in Kingsley, at 8.30pm and took the keys to her blue Mercedes convertible.

The Mercedes was later found abandoned near the junction of Hollow Lane and Westbrook Road, in Kingsley.

The woman was left shaken by the incident but was not injured.

Police have described the first man as 5ft 10in tall, of stocky build with mousey brown hair, dark eyes and wearing Nike black tracksuit bottoms, with a tick on the pocket, and a dark cagoule with a peaked hood up over his head.

He may have been wearing a cap under the hood.

They described the second man as 5ft 8in tall, thin and wearing a dark cagoule-type top.

The third man was described as wearing dark clothing.
