Scotland Yard said the victim in his 50`s was home alone when he heard the footsteps down his stairs. A man with a gun and his unarmed colleague confronted him demanding money.
One of the burglars hit the victim over with the weapon and threatened him. Officers believe the gun was fake as the several attempts made to fire were unsuccessful.
The victim sustained a head injury after struggling with the burglars who then taped and shoved him into the toilet.
PC Daisy Puplett, investigating, said: “I urge anyone who may have been in the vicinity at this time and date and saw two males acting suspiciously to contact us immediately.
“The victim was left terrified following this traumatic incident and we are doing everything we can to find those responsible.”
