After getting the keys, the masked men then drove off with the both their car and the victim's.
Recalling the horrific incident, the victim said: "I noticed a car kind of blocking our driveway, I was a bit surprised about what this car was doing.
"As my daughter went in front of me I turned around and saw three males, masked up jumping out and coming towards me in a threatening manner.
"I was slightly confused and then I see them coming towards me, one with a some kind of large knife, one with a sledge hammer and another one may or may not have had something with him.
"They start shouting at me to give them the keys, at which point I seem to fall on the floor with them towering over me with their weapons.
"Thankfully me and my family have not been injured with no damage to our property."
The victim is appealing to anyone with information to come forwards.
"I'm obviously shaken, one doesn't appreciate of being accosted, I wouldn't wish it on anybody and we're going to have to move on in life, what's gone is gone."
