A WOMAN suffered a terrifying ordeal when two men burst into her Southcrest home and threatened her - though they may have targeted the wrong house.

The pair forced their way into the house in Laurel Close at about 11.30pm last Tuesday.

They shouted at the woman and threatened her before searching the house and leaving.

Det Insp Tony Love, of Redditch Police, said: "Although the woman was not injured as a result of her ordeal, she was extremely shaken and cannot understand why she was targeted.

"It may be the offenders made a mistake with the address and this is one line of inquiry we're following.

"We'd like to hear from anyone who was in the Southcrest, Headless Cross or town centre areas around the time of the incident and saw two males acting suspiciously or noticed any vehicle they believe may be linked to the incident."

The pair are thought to have fled on foot.

The first raider was a light-skinned black man, about 21, 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build and with very short dark hair.

He wore a black, long-sleeved jumper and black tracksuit bottoms.

The other man was also black with light-coloured skin, about 21, 5ft 9ins tall, had short hair and was of slim build.

He wore a black hooded top, black tracksuit bottoms, black and red trainers, baseball cap and a black scarf around his face.
