POLICE last night issued an appeal for information into an aggravated burglary.

Three masked men bound a 44-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man at a house in Plains Farm, Sunderland, before escaping with two bank cards and £450 in cash.

The cards were later used at a cashpoint in the city's Grangetown area.

Last night, detectives urged anyone with information about the raid, at about 11.45pm on Saturday, to contact investigating officers on 0191-454 7555, extension 66242.
