Police hunt shotgun robbers who targeted Chelmsley Wood home.

ARMED GANG: CCTV footage shows the men smashing their way into the
Bosworth Drive home.
POLICE are appealing for help to find three men who smashed their way into a Chelmsley Wood home and threatened a woman with a shotgun.
The terrifying robbery took place at an address in Bosworth Drive on February 5 this year.
Around 11pm, the gang broke through the patio doors and barged into the home brandishing the firearm.
They threatened the 37-year-old victim at gunpoint and escaped with a handbag across the rear gardens.
Det Con Mark Delaney said it had been a "frightening and distressing" ordeal for the woman, who had been alone in the house at the time.
"Our initial enquiries suggest that perhaps this was a case of mistaken identity as the offenders seemed to be searching for something and eventually left with just the woman’s bag.
"Thankfully no one was hurt and the firearm was not discharged, with the men fleeing with just the bag containing a few pounds."
The men are described as being in their 20s. One was wearing a baseball cap, another a white woolly hat.
Two of the men had light grey/white clothes and a third was wearing a light grey ‘body warmer’ style jacket. The man carrying the gun was black, while his two accomplices were white men.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Solihull CID on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
