A couple were held at knifepoint by raiders who broke into their home to steal designer handbags.

Police were called to reports of a burglary in Collier Row, Havering, at 9am yesterday.

The couple, in their twenties, were threatened with a knife before the gang fled with designer handbags and accessories.

Officers arrived as the suspects escaped in a stolen grey BMW 525i, which was then stopped in White Hart Lane.

Three males, aged 18, 20 and 22, were arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and vehicle taking. They remained in custody this morning.

Detective Sergeant Billy Baxter said: “At least one suspect is still outstanding. I urge anyone with information to contact police.”
