A GANG of three men forced their way into a woman's home and tied her up before stealing a quantity of cash.

A neighbour alerted police at around 2.20pm on Tuesday to the incident in Larch Road, Dartford.

Police are also searching for a black car that the robbers may have used.

Det Sgt Sam Hudson-Gool said: "The men threatened the woman and made threats against members of her family who weren’t present, before stealing cash.

"The woman is Albanian and she describes the men as being of Eastern European appearance. She also says they spoke to her in Albanian."
