AN 18-year-old woman was sexually assaulted during a burglary at her home in Bradford, police said today.

Two men wearing balaclava masks walked into the kitchen of the house in Langbar Avenue, Chellow Grange, and one of them sexually assaulted the woman after grabbing her and putting a hand over her mouth.

The pair then left the house and got into a red van with windows, which was also believed to have a sliding door.

A third man was seen inside the van who got into the driver's seat.

The two men who went into the house are both described as white, more than 6ft tall and of stocky build. Both were wearing dark clothing.

The woman, who was unhurt but shocked, later noticed that a Samsung Galaxy 3 tablet computer and an iPhone 5 had been stolen.

Detective Inspector Ryan Bragg, of Bradford District CID, said: "We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen these men or the van in the Chellow Grange area around this time, or anyone who might have been offered these items for sale, possibly at reduced prices."

Anyone with information about the incident, which occurred on Monday at about 12.10pm, is urged to call DC2760 Cooper at Bradford District CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
