A mother and her son were threatened by armed robbers in their home in Jericho.

At about 11pm on Tuesday night, the 40-year-old woman and her 19-year-old son were at their house in Cardigan Street, when three men walked through the back door.

They took two knives from the kitchen and threatened the victims, before stealing three mobile phones, two watches, an undisclosed amount of cash, and the bar to a dumbbell.

The 19-year-old man was punched in the face by one of the robbers and was left with swelling to his nose.

The men were all wearing heavy coats, balaclavas and gloves.
