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.
