A MANHUNT has been launched after a pensioner was tied up, gagged and threatened with a knife in his own home.
The victim, 70, answered the door in Rowland Street, Royston, at around 9.30pm last Thursday to a baraclava-clad man who threatened him with a knife before forcing him back into the flat.
He tied up the elderly resident then left with a quantity of cash and a mobile phone.
The victim called for help but was not heard until the following morning.
A police spokesman said: “The victim was bound by his hands and feet and his mouth was covered when police found him.”
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting incident 242 of November 27.
