Two masked men entered the house on Wellesleys Mews, Richmond, and threatened the 61-year-old-man with a knife.

It took place at about 6.30am this morning (Wednesday, January 16).

The thieves left empty-handed and fled in the direction of Quaker Lane.

The man suffered small cuts to his finger and toe.

Both offenders were aged in their twenties, of slim build and wore black clothes and shoes.
