The owner of a jewellery shop in Bradford was taken hostage with his wife and forced to open their shop by four raiders in the early hours today.
They were seized at their home in Clayton at 4am by the gang and driven to their shop, MI Jewellers, in White Abbey Road.
The raiders then snatched jewellery before escaping, leaving the terrified couple at the shop.
The husband is believed to have suffered a broken arm, and was taken to hospital with his wife for treatment.
Police cordoned off the shop, which is next to Raza Grocers, for forensic examination to be carried out.
