Police are appealing for information following an aggravated burglary in Stoke-on-Trent.

Yesterday morning (25 October), at around 3am, four men smashed the front door of a house on Birchfield Road, Abbey Hulton.

The men were wearing all black, including gloves and balaclavas and left the scene in a silver car.

The victim was taken to hospital with head injuries.

Officers are carrying out urgent enquiries and are keen for anyone with information, CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage to get in touch.
