Police are appealing for information following a report of a burglary in Ramsgate where one suspect was carrying a knife and the property occupants were threatened.
At around 2am on Monday 18 October, a group of three or four men wearing balaclavas reportedly entered a property in St Patrick’s Road.
At least one of the men was carrying a knife and the occupants of the property were threatened before the men stole a bag and a quantity of cash and left the scene. No injuries were reported.
Officers have since been carrying out enquiries in the area and are appealing to anyone who saw anything suspicious or has doorbell or dashcam footage which may assist the investigation.
Anyone with information is urged to call Kent Police on 01843 222289, quoting reference 46/208306/21.

Yes, a whole life tariff for a burglary where nobody was hurt seems totally appropriate. Not very realistic.
Maybe the police thought you were lying?
My Grandad was burgled before on a new years eve. The guy that did it worked at the harvester and gained his address after seeing how weak he was from a competition they were doing at the time. He was just ordered to pay back the value of the items he stole. Which was never fully received. I believe breaking an entry into someone’s home is one of the most low crimes and deserves double figure sentences
How did they enter the property? Were the thieves known to the victims? If so, it seems they didn’t break in, they were let in, so its hardly a burglary! Or did someone open the door for them? I think we should be told.
A brave person to open their front door to a knock at 2 in the morning.
There are a couple of drug dealers down that street. I wonder if it’s related ??
A bag of cash was stolen. It doesn’t sound like an everyday burglary, does it?
