THE terrifying moment machete-wielding men got out of cars and descended upon a home was caught on camera.

The incident, which took place both outside of and inside of a house on Tanpits Road in Church, Accrington, involved several masked men armed with weapons.

Two men from Bolton have since been arrested in connection with the incident and remain in custody. 

Two cars, including a BMW, were smashed with bats and axes before the men made their way inside a large home on the street.

Once inside they can be seen smashing up the house and damaging a television and ornaments before quickly exiting back onto the street and getting into cars.

It is not believed that anyone was injured during the terrifying attack.

A police spokesman said: “We were called at 2.05pm yesterday (Tuesday, October 13) to reports of public order offences in Tanpits Road, Church.

“It was reported a number of men had vandalised two cars, a Peugeot and BMW, before smashing the windows of a house. The group then forced their way inside the address before damaging further property including a television, ornaments, walls and rear windows.

“The men made off from the scene in four vehicles.

“No injuries were reported.

“Following enquiries police later arrested two men aged 35 and 27 from Bolton and a 26-year-old man from Trowbridge on suspicion of aggravated burglary. They are currently in custody.

“An investigation is underway and enquiries on-going. It is being treated as an isolated incident and offences of this nature are rare.”
