UK burglar holds knife to 15-month baby girl

A 15-month-old girl was held at knife-point before burglars, including a woman, stole cash and jewellery from a west London house, Scotland Yard said today.
Burglars posing as meter readers entered the home of a 31-year-old woman in Harlington Road, Uxbridge, on last Friday on Halloweens day.
The woman saw the man holding a knife to her baby before saying to her, "where is the gold?"
An e-fit of one of the suspects, who pretended to be from a water company, has been released by Scotland Yard.
The man bound the mother's wrists and ankles and put her and her daughter in the bathroom during the raid.

He was then joined by a female accomplice and they began to search the house, eventually making off with some jewellery, the BBC reported.

The mother and daughter were found by neighbours about 50 minutes later, when police were called.
The suspect was wearing a lanyard around his neck and a high-visibility jacket which made the victim believe he was a genuine meter reader, police said.
Emergency services attended the scene and the mother and daughter did not need to go to hospital.
Detective Constable Anji Dawson said: "This incident happened on Halloween at about 17:00 GMT so we believe there may have been many people in the area that may have seen the suspect."

There is no description of the female accomplice, who was heard, but not seen by the victim, the report said.
