Man injured by knife wielding burglars in Newport Pagnell

At around 10.30pm on Monday night (March 5), four offenders forced entry to a property in Severn Drive, Newport Pagnell.

The house was occupied at the time by three people.

The burglars demanded money and then assaulted one of the occupants, the 62-year-old man, causing injuries to the head and back which required hospital treatment. He has since been discharged.
