POLICE are looking for a gang which has been targeting homes to rob the occupants at gunpoint.

Six people have been robbed by the gang in Thamesmead since February, with the most recent incident taking place on November 5.

A group of three or four masked black men in their late teens or early 20s have been forcing their way into homes.

They have made violent threats towards residents and in each case a gun has been brandished.

The robbers have taken valuables and cash, including around £9,000 from one home, mobile phones and computer equipment.

Police are asking anyone with information on who is involved in the crimes to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
