A 71-year-old man was hit in the face with a hammer and stabbed while a seven-year-old boy had a knife held against his throat during the terrifying ordeal in Oldbury.
The man was left with life-changing injuries as a result of the violent robbery which also saw his wife threatened, and have a necklace ripped from her, before the masked gang fled with cash and jewellery in February 2019.
Following extensive CCTV and forensic enquiries we were able to identify Stewart Homer and Susan Scott as being two of the intruders.
They were both charged with and convicted of robbery, wounding and possessing an offensive weapon at Birmingham Crown Court.
Homer, aged 43, of Bluebell Road, Dudley, was sentenced to 16 years imprisonment and Scott, 45, of Hollywell Close, Coseley, received 14 years
