Two burglars threw a woman to the ground, tied her up and threatened her with a gun before stealing cash in a terrifying raid on her west London home.

They burst into the house in Feltham at about noon on Tuesday after she opened her door to two men holding a parcel.

The pair knocked the woman over before binding her wrists and ankles with tape as she lay on the ground.

During the attack, she was struck in the head and threatened with what she thought to be a firearm, police say.

The burglars then searched the house and escaped with a large amount of money.

Police say the first man was around 5ft 11in tall, of medium build and wore a brown hooded jacket with a brown cap.

The second burglar was of medium build and wore a high-vis vest over a light grey hooded top.

Detective Constable James Dickson-Leach, from Hounslow CID, said: "This was a violent attack on a woman in her own home and we would like to trace the people responsible as soon as possible.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time who may have information that can assist our investigation.”

Anyone with information should call Hounslow CID on 020 8247 6160 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
