Police are investigating after three people were injured during an armed burglary at their home in Dudley.

Intruders drove a BMW through security gates at the address in Parkes Hall Road, Woodsetton, at around 7.10pm yesterday (19 June).

The occupants were threatened by someone with a gun and ordered to hand over cash.

It’s understood there was a melee and a man in his 30s was stabbed in the leg. He was taken to hospital with injuries which are thankfully not believed to be life-threatening. A woman, also in her 30s, suffered arm injuries after being assaulted.

A suspect has been detained and will be questioned in due course.

A gun was recovered from the property and will be forensically examined.

Detective Inspector Dean Kett, from Dudley CID, said: "We’re in the early stages of our investigation into what was a terrifying situation.

"At this stage we don't believe anything was taken and we're working to identify a group of men who we understand fled in the BMW.

"We know this will have caused concern within the community and we'll be stepping up reassurance patrols in the area."
