These men are being hunted after a woman was tied to a radiator in a raid

A woman has spoken of the terrifying moment she was tied to a radiator as two raiders ransacked her house.

The 33-year-old was home alone when two men forced their way in her home in Smith Road, Chatham.

They demanded she tell them where the valuables were kept before tying her to a radiator to stop her from getting help.

The robbers took several high-value items, including expensive jewellery, before fleeing in what is believed to have been a saloon car.

Detectives have now released efits of two men being hunted over the raid as Crimestoppers offers a £5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.

The victim, who did not wish to be named, said: "The robbery was terrifying and it will take me a long time, if ever, to come to terms with what happened.

"But apart from the physical and emotional stress associated with being robbed, I am extremely upset about the loss of some of the jewellery which was very personal to my family.

"In particular, my husband's wedding ring was taken. It was engraved inside the band with '2001', the year of our marriage.

"There was also a specially made ring that was presented to my husband as being part of the winning Taekwondo European championship Team in 1998."

The first man being hunted is described as black, large, in his mid to late 20s, 5ft 8in with gold teeth. He was wearing a black hat, black cargo trousers, a high-visibility jacket and black woolen gloves.

His accomplice is described as black, slim, in his mid-20s, 5ft 8in, with a stud ear ring in each ear. He was also wearing a high-visibility jacket, black woolen gloves and glasses.

"Those responsible for this incident need to be brought to justice for their actions and I would ask anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers anonymously - we don't want to know who you are, only what you know."
