A "significant" amount of money was stolen by three men who entered a house in Derbyshire wielding a baton.

Detectives say they entered the home of a man in his 80s in Chestnut Drive, Shirebrook, at about 19:10 GMT on Saturday.

The three men, who were wearing all black, had their faces covered, the force said.

They were armed with a baton and assaulted the victim, who was not seriously injured.

Officers say they left in a Seat car that was captured on CCTV parked nearby.

Detectives are asking for anyone who recognises the vehicle or has any information to come forward.
