| The incident happened at Tarry Drive in the town on Tuesday night, when three masked men burst into the house after smashing their way in with hammers. | |
| Robert and Gertrude Hesketh had just moved back into their family home of 40 years after living elsewhere for 18 months. | |
| They were told by the intruders that they had 48 hours to get out of the house or it would be burned down. | |
| The couple's son, Owen, said he was not sure if his parents would return to their home following the attack. | |
| "I honestly can't see them coming back now, because the whole thing about moving back was 'we are going back to our roots'," he said. | |
| He added that they might be thinking it was not "going to be a happy place for them anymore". |
