 Police are searching for five men who attacked and robbed a woman and her four children in Azalea Park in Despatch on Wednesday night.

Police spokesperson, Marianette Olivier, says the men entered the house through a back door shortly before 8PM and tied up the 38-year-old woman and her children, before locking them in two separate rooms.

They took cell phones, a laptop, TV, speakers and jewelry before fleeing.

The woman managed to get the neighbours' attention through a window, who raised the alarm.
