Masked raiders terrorise pensioner in his Grimsby flat

A PENSIONER is scared to sleep in his own home after masked raiders barged in, battered him around the head and held him to the ground as they robbed his flat.

The 65-year-old man had just returned home to Harlech Way from a church meeting when he heard someone call his name and assumed it was a neighbour.

But as he opened the door, two men in army-style masks, hoods, gloves and dark clothing barged through and hit him on the head with a bar, knocking him briefly unconscious. When he came to, one of the men had a knee in his back as another fled with arms full of his possessions and medication.
