A Minster man has described the terrifying moments he was robbed by balaclava-clad men who held a rag over his face.

The 59-year-old, who does not wish to be named, was parking his car in the driveway of his home in Summerville Avenue at just before 7.30pm when he was approached by the duo from behind.

One of the attackers then pinned his arms to his side, while his accomplice held a piece of cloth over his face to stop him screaming.

The victim, who owns a shop in Sheerness, said: “One of them held me and the other said in my ear, ‘don’t scream, don’t shout.’

“One of them was patting me down while I was held still.

“I’m so nervous from it, my wife and I can’t sleep.

“It all happened so quickly, but it was awful.”

After searching his person, one of the men rifled through possessions in his car - taking a whole day’s shop takings of £700, a bunch of keys, as well as personal documents and papers.

His ordeal only came to an end when they were ran off after being disturbed by two of his neighbours walking past.

He believes his attackers initially planned on burgling his house after he later discovered all the security lights in his garden were broken earlier that day.

He added: “I think I came home from work and disturbed them.”

Police confirmed they are hunting two suspects.
