A WOMAN was left fearing for her safety after masked burglars armed with a knife and firearm broke into her Rock Ferry home.

At around 5.45pm on Saturday (December 4), police were called to a report of a burglary at an address on Rock Lane West.

Two men armed with a knife and a firearm forced entry into a house whilst the occupier was inside and stole a quantity of cash before fleeing the address.

No one was injured but the woman was left seriously distressed and fearing for her safety.

CCTV, witness and forensic enquiries are ongoing to find those responsible and anyone with any information is asked to contact police.

Detective Inspector Mike Fletcher said: "This was a frightening ordeal that no one should ever have go through in their own home.

"As part of this investigation I would like to hear from anyone who was on Rock Lane at around 5.45pm on Saturday evening and saw the incident or the men involved.

"We are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed or heard any suspicious behaviour or has CCTV or dashcam footage of the incident.

"Any information you have could be vital to our enquiries."
