Masked marauders spray corrosive liquid in terrifying home invasions across Harrow and Ealing
Violent raids terrorise neighbourhoods
A gang of masked men, dressed head-to-toe in black, have launched a spree of brutal attacks on residential homes. The suspects forced entry, threatened occupants, and sprayed them with a dangerous corrosive substance before making a swift getaway in a dark vehicle.
Five linked incidents spark police hunt
Police confirmed five related attacks in Harrow and Ealing. On March 29th, officers rushed to Highfield Avenue, NW11, after reports of an aggravated burglary shocked locals. Similarly, four men broke into a house on Harrowdene Road, Harrow, stole jewellery, and threatened the resident with a liquid. Fortunately, no one was harmed.
The final attack on March 31st at Greenford Road, UB6 saw three women – aged 20s to 60s – assaulted with a corrosive substance. The victims were hospitalised but their injuries were thankfully not life-threatening or life-changing.
Police urge vigilance as manhunt intensifies
“Local people have been rightly concerned following a number of incidents reported online and on social media,” said Detective Sergeant Huss Ahmed of the North West Command Unit. “We can confirm the five incidents in Harrow and Ealing are linked. We advise residents to be vigilant but not alarmed – keep doors locked, monitor security systems, and stay alert at night.”
No arrests have been made yet, but detectives are working round-the-clock to track down the suspects.
