Sledgehammer robbers smash into home with teens inside
Four robbers were caught on CCTV using sledgehammers to smash their way into an upmarket home in broad daylight before threatening two teenagers inside.
Footage shows the masked gang reversing a black BMW 3 Series up the driveway of the property in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.
CCTV from the property shows the gang raiding the house at 4.30pm on February 16.
After scouting the front of the house, the gang sneak round the back where another CCTV captures one raider smashing the kitchen door with a sledgehammer.
The rest of the crooks then enter the property through the broken door.
A security camera inside the hallway shows the intruders quickly going into each room before carrying out armfuls of valuables.
