Default Home invasion focus RS

Just a heads up as there is some dirty scummy b@stards out there.

Last night at 8pm my mate was just putting something into his car in his drive and three guys rushed him.
a normally quiet side street in Stoke on Trent.
Armed with a machete , base ball bat and a hammer to which he received an injury to the head by hammer.

I make a point of this as my mate is no push over , hes mid 40's owned about 20 Rs 's in the past along with other turbo charged cars

Tried to fend them off but they ransacked the house and stole all the jewlery and money in the property.

His Mrs and two year old who were upstairs at the time also suffered the ordeal.

The newer golf turbo wasn't taken and it was clearly pointed out to them as the focus was the target even though 4 doors down there is another focus RS !!

Police conererd the property off.
Car has been recovered but scumbos still have the keys.
It's not known if it even runs now
. He's just spent 2.5 having the bottom end forged. It's about 100 miles over the run in !

Obviously ruined this Christmas and to be totally honest, I'm in shock.

Be vigilant .

I've spoken to him briefly today and he seems ok,
I will know more tomorrow. His Mrs n little girl were in bits yesterday.
One of his lads has come back from the army today so at least there is somebody else about.

I don't know what he's going to do about the car yet as obviously it's still at the impound waiting on forensics but the other problem is as it's locked and he doesn't have any keys.
Am sure as they will be able to reprogram one
He also had a new alarm fitted a few weeks ago

And on top of that it may be ruined anyway .

A just hope the bastards are on CCTV somewhere

I think maybe the same gang that's doing a lot around Derby / Burton area , my brother in laws brother has a Audi rs 5 or 6 can't remember but he parks it at Burton train station and trains it into work , come back went to see his mum and as he was walking down the side of the house he heard a car pull up and 3 lads jumped him and pinned him to the floor and took his keys and fooked off to Derby and dumped the car at Nuffield hospital . Luckily he had a tracker on it and they was straight on it doing 130 mph to Derby and where it was , but the crafty bastards had ripped his glove box out and some wiring trying to get the tracker. They apparently wait a few days and come back for the cars and they have a look out checking the fuzz don't come sniffing around.
Absolute scum bags
