BURGLARS broke into a home in Woodley – while the owner was in it.
The incident took place around 6.20pm on Sunday, November 21.
The victim heard banging on the patio door to their home in Kingsford Close, off Colemansmoor Road.
The burglars smashed the glass of the patio, and then demanded that the victim open a safe, where an amount of cash was stolen.
Thames Valley Police said that the offenders were all men, around 6ft tall, and were wearing black tops and black balaclavas.
They left the cul de sac in a white Citroen Berlingo, an MPV-sized car.
Since Sunday, a 39-year-old man from the Woodley area has been arrested on suspicion of burglary and released on bail.
